Creating tariffs

Create tariffs in Energy Hub to model your utility tariffs for estimating your electricity and commodities consumption costs.

To create a tariff:

NOTE: Users with limited access permissions within the organization cannot view, create, edit, assign, or delete tariffs.

NOTE: The new tariff will be assigned automatically to the site it is created on. You can later remove it from the site or use it for other sites if needed.

1. In Energy Hub, go to Investigate and select any of the views (Asset, Energy, Electrical, or Cost).
2. In the organization tree, select the site that you want to create the tariff for.
3. In the information panel for the site, select the Tariffs tab. A selector for commodity options (Electricity, Gas, Water) and a list of assigned tariffs for the chosen commodity for this site display.
4. Select the commodity that you want to create the tariff for.
5. Select Edit . The edit controls display.
6. Select Create new tariff. The Create new tariff panel displays.
7. In Create new tariff, select the type of tariff you want to create, or select Copy an existing tariff to create a tariff based on an existing one. Select Next.

   NOTE: If you create a tariff based on an existing one, the new tariff default settings will be the same as the settings of the existing tariff. You can then edit those settings in the new tariff to make changes.

8. For a flat-rate tariff, define the general tariff information and the rate.
   For a time-of-use tariff, define the general tariff information, time-of-use seasons, time-of-use periods, (optional) special days, and rates.
   For information on the tariff parameters, see Cost.
9. Select Create to create the new tariff.
