Strange Meter Readings (30 min AMR)

AncientMariner
With no booking for room hire and thus no income, I have been trying to reduce electricity consumption in our village hall. I cannot just simply switch off at the isolator, since there is another user who has access for an office.

This morning 09:41 looked at the consumption graph for Thursday 2nd April and was pleased that I had apparently reduced it by more than half from the previous days.  Then looked again this evening and I hadn't!  I thought I had seen similar yesterday, so this time copied the screen to a file:

Confusing, to say the least!

    The data you are showing comes from the central processing facility, not the meter. You would need to talk with your meter operator to find out what has happened. The billing information will be ok, but it seems that for some reason there was in issue in the data stream you were looking at.


    The best display for answering your consumption question, is the half-hour figures at the top right. The scaling on the left is kW, so you seem to have a fairly steady load of 1kW or so throughout the day. In an office, this could perhaps be a PC plus printer left on 24 hours a day and a thermostatically controlled heater, but I would have expected that to go up during the night when it is colder outside. 



    Regards,
