SCENARIO

Reference energy scenario for this load estimate · simulator engine

464,706reference kWh per year for this load
51.2kWh per h-e (average load) per year
69,706€ per year at 0.15 €/kWh
41 %share of energy used for aeration

what this estimate is · Inputs: 8,039 p.e. of reported load; equivalent average load 9,075 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.
