Medina Electric Cooperative residential members have access to analytics for their energy use illustrating the impact of various appliances on their monthly energy bills. This personalized information allows members to identify which appliances are driving up their energy costs and by how much, offering more opportunities for potential savings.
To access these insights, members must have a residential account and be enrolled in SmartHub. Once enrolled, various analytics including energy breakdown, cost analysis, detailed consumption data, projected bills and top energy-saving tips will be available within SmartHub.
This feature, known as consumer analytics, is made possible through integration with Bidgely, an industry leader in energy intelligence. Bidgely utilizes meter data disaggregation to identify individual appliance types and their respective contributions to total energy consumption within the home.
The accuracy of these appliance details is derived from analysis of meter data, which captures the unique usage patterns of different appliances. For example, the energy usage patterns of a washing machine differ markedly from those of a refrigerator, enabling precise assessment of their impact on monthly bills.
To maximize the accuracy of these analytics, members are encouraged to complete the Build Your Home Profile questionnaire for tailored insights that reflect their specific circumstances.
