How this tool works

Interval kWh = current reading − previous reading for the same meter. Daily use = interval kWh ÷ elapsed days. A decreasing reading requires review.

Method version: 2026-09-19.2

Input format

No automatic currency conversion. CSV headers remain English; use decimal points and ISO dates (YYYY-MM-DD).

Limits and assumptions

A decreasing reading is a reset or data error, never negative consumption. First reading is a baseline. Intervals are normalized by elapsed days, not compared as equal-length months.
