SCENARIO

Reference energy scenario for this load estimate · simulator engine

646,515reference kWh per year for this load
50.6kWh per h-e (average load) per year
96,977€ per year at 0.15 €/kWh
42 %share of energy used for aeration

what this estimate is · Inputs: 11,319 p.e. of reported load; equivalent average load 12,780 p.e. with the reference profile of Switzerland (hypothesis with reported load and reference profile; not a measurement). Open this scenario in the simulator · how it is calculated and what it is not.

Reference scenario computed on the server from the reported load and the country profile; an estimate, not a measurement. The simulator recomputes it when opened.
