12.4.1 Usage profile
The usage profile shown in the outlook screen is based on the profiled usage information described in
the history section.
Profiled usage is re-shown here and associated to the price information. The combination creates
actionable information for the user; i.e. clear examples of peaks in usage (shown in the profile) with
amber or red rate periods overlaid to suggest or prompt voluntary peak shifting from customer
behavioural change.
12.4.2 Rate indication
The green, amber, red labelling scheme is used to describe individual Time of Use rates within a
Price.
‘Low’ rates
are
shown in green, ‘transition’ or ‘mid’ rates
in amber and ‘high’ tariffs in red; this
will use the same logic and identification as the tariff status screen.
