      About this tool

      Your data stays private Your usage file is processed in real time on a secure cloud server. Nothing is saved — once you close this page, the data is gone.
      How the comparison works We model your annual electricity cost across all BGE smart meter tariffs using your actual half-hourly usage pattern — the same data your smart meter records.
      What it can't tell you Costs are estimates based on published BGE rates. Your real bill will also depend on any cashback offers, loyalty discounts, or mid-year rate changes that apply to your account.
