Installation is OK.

Understood. Also, the CurrentCost is only taking a sample every 6 seconds,
so I was expecting some difference, but not as high as 50%

Still interested to hear from anyone that has current cost installed on the
accuracy of their installation. Maybe take a meter reading when you install
your current cost (you are at the meter any way :) ) , and another reading
+7 days and +30 days, and compare what the CurrentCost says?
