RE: CurrentCost

["Andrew Walker" <andrew.walker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

kwh price?

Or what about using the final bill value in pounds and diving by the sum
of=
the two kwh values to give the unit cost.
This would then take into account the split between the two tarrifs, the
VA=
T and also any direct debit discounts applied.

Just received my current cost last week, base load at night is just over
20=
0w, I counted the number of unique items drawing power at night and came
up=
with 39 (12 on cbus), so don't think 200W is too bad.

39, I'm sure some of you could double this number.

>From the FAQ:

My tariff alters after a number of units, what figure should I enter into
t=
he display?

The Current Cost monitor is designed to highlight wastage and is not
intend=
ed to be a revenue meter. The reason a cost is on there is to offer some
re=
levancy to the wattage used. The best currency to highlight wastage is
ener=
gy (expressed as watts) although money ultimately saved is an obvious
benef=
it.=20

A good solution, offered by a user is:
Add the two tariffs together, then add five per cent VAT, finally divide
by=
two, and enter this value in as a single tariff.
