Near Real Time Usage

The Near Real-Time Usage widget displays unvalidated electric interval usage data for customers with AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) meters. The data for this widget is delivered through an API built in partnership between the utility and Oracle Utilities Opower, and is intended to provide users with energy usage data and trends that are nearly current, as opposed to delayed or batch-processed data.
