The Tarriff dialog
The Tariff dialog is displayed whenever you Add, Copy or Edit Tariffs. The fields in the Tariff dialog are:
- Name – the name of the tariff; used when applying tariffs to location groups. The tariff name must be unique and is validated when you click OK.
- Description – holds supplementary information about the cost and CO2 emissions settings for the tariff.
- Cost per kWh – the cost per kWh of energy used for this particular tariff. Cost is displayed in the currency that was set during installation but this can be changed in the NightWatchman Settings.
- CO2 per kWh – localized values for the amount of CO2 created per kWh of power generated.
- Utility Provider – the name of the utility provider for the location where the tariff is applied. This is the name that will appear in Reports.
Currency and CO2 per kWh units are global and dependent on the values defined in the NightWatchman Settings.
