Cost Allocation Report
A cost allocation report lists each meter's contribution to the total energy cost, based on a rate schedule. Cost allocation
reports are generated in a Microsoft Excel output format.
For the Efficient Industries Plant 1 example, you will create a cost allocation report for all of the electric submeters
including Boiler House, Power House, Production 1, Production 2, Shipping/Receiving/DC, and the Data Center.
Create a Rate Schedule
A rate schedule for a cost allocation report typically includes only energy consumption (kWh) calculations. More complex
reports can be created by using the ReportsPlus option.
For the Efficient Industries Plant 1 example, you will create a simple rate schedule that calculates energy charges from the
Real Energy Net (kWh) tag values of the electric submeters by using a single rate per unit value.
Follow these steps to create a rate schedule.
1. Click the System tab.
2. Open the Rate Schedule folder.
3. Navigate to and select a domain for the rate
schedule.
For this example, select the Accounting
subdomain.
4. Click the Add a rate schedule link.
5. On the Information tab:
a. Verify the selected domain.
b. Enter a rate schedule name.
For this example, enter Electric Cost
Allocation.
c. Verify the time zone.
d. Enter optional information.
