Reminders

Your school has four gas meters and three electricity meters. We have access to the data for two electricity meters. We also have access to the data for one gas meter (MPR 2079308.) For the other missing gas and electricity meters, they are not capable of sharing data with Energy Sparks. Please request the meter upgrades through your supplier account manager. In the meantime, please keep in mind that your account does not show your school's total energy usage yet.
