How can I register my energy?

Written by Marcel Bongaards

It is necessary to first create your energy meters. Once you have done this, go to the company dashboard, navigate to Locations, and select Usage.

Go to the left menu and click on Usage - Energy.

You will see an overview of the energy meters you have created. Select the relevant meter by clicking on its name.

You will then see an overview of previous registrations. If this is the first registration, there will naturally be no entries yet.

To create a registration, click on + Registration. Enter the date of your registration in the pop-up and then your consumption. After that, click Save. The registration will be immediately visible.

Depending on the meter's settings, you can also register meter readings. Based on the newly entered reading, the system will calculate the consumption.

Energy consumption with calorific value, conversion factor and % green energy:

Depending on the meter setting (e.g., m³ or kWh), you may see additional input fields for entering energy consumption.

When registering new consumption, you must provide:

  • Date

  • Consumption in m³, GJ, kWh, or MWh depending on the meter setup

  • Calorific value if consumption is in m³

  • Conversion factor (if you have a high-load meter)

  • Amount of green energy

How do I calculate the calorific value?

At MPS, we work with a relative calorific value, which is always around 1. However, your energy supplier invoice may show an absolute calorific value (usually between 10 and 12). This is often called the conversion factor by suppliers.

To calculate the correct calorific value for MPS:

  1. Take the absolute calorific value from your invoice

  2. Divide it by 9.75

The result of this calculation is the calorific value you can use in the registration environment.

High-Load Meter

You may have a high-load (bulk) meter. This might show 23 on the meter, which is not your actual consumed m³ of gas.
You need to multiply this number by 10 or 100 depending on your meter type (this can be read on the meter).
Example: Enter 23 as consumption and 10 or 100 as the conversion factor, depending on your meter.
This is not the same as the conversion factor on your invoice.
