Billing Report
A billing report generates a replication of a monthly bill (shadow bill) from your energy provider, for comparative billing
analysis and potential energy cost recovery. The report is based on data from your energy meters and utility rate schedules.
Creating a billing report requires you to:
• add or import a rate schedule.
• set up, view, and print the report using the selected rate schedule.
For the Efficient Industries Plant 1 example, you will create a billing report for the electric utility.
Import or Create a Rate Schedule
A rate schedule defines a set of rules that FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software uses to convert energy usage data into usable
billing or cost allocation information. For details on how to configure rate schedules, refer to the FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix
software online help.
For your convenience, the Energy Management Accelerator Toolkit CD provides sample rate schedules that you can import
and modify for your needs.
