I literally have no idea how much energy my apartment uses. This is like not knowing whether your car gets 10mpg or 50mpg.
Feels like a big gap in infrastructure situation awareness.

Why’s that? Take your bill and divide by 30 for daily average - you can see both volumetric and peak consumption

I’ve never done that math, I don’t even look at the bill (wife pays it). It should be a meter, not paperwork, since live dynamic usage level is the key

And by that I mean - even the utility doesn’t know or care about the actual per minute usage and they charge you based on an average

I think they will start to. Reviewing stuff about some demand management tech that’s sub-hour in resolution.

Slightly related: your bill actually averages usage by hour, crazily enough. Some jurisdictions even average by day or month.
