Energy Ottawa Inc. introduces The Energy Ottawa Portal

The Energy Ottawa Portal gives you the power to access the utility data for your facility directly from any computer, via the web. It is the first step to understanding when and how you use energy in your facility.

The Energy Ottawa Portal allows you to view your usage information anywhere, anytime 24 x 7, through a secure web portal. You can view your utility data, graph it, create reports and download it for use with your other programs like spreadsheets or custom graphing software.

Not only do you have access to recent data; you also have access to all of your historical data that the utility keeps in their database. This allows for year over year comparisons, to track the impact of efficiency improvements, operational adjustments, occupancy changes and even weather. Data can be viewed for any time period, including monthly, weekly, daily, hourly; and right down to 5-minute intervals.

The Energy Ottawa Portal gives you full access to:

• Kilowatt-hours
• Kilovar-hours
• Kilowatts
• Hourly Ontario Energy Price
• Cost per hour
• Temperature
• Degree Days

The Energy Ottawa Portal is also customizable to incorporate other features like

• Other utilities that have electronic meters
• Combine data from other facilities, even in other jurisdictions
• Shadow billing to let you know what your next bill will be
• Customized rate plan analysis
