How utility operational costs are calculated

Operational electrical expense is derived from total energy consumption (measured in kilowatt-hours, kWh). The core equation is: kWh = (Power in Watts × Hours Used) / 1000. This consumption is multiplied by the utility tariff rate to determine the cost.

Carbon offsets are calculated using global grid carbon intensities (averaging ~0.475 kg CO2 emitted per kilowatt-hour of power produced).
