Clarity is your free online reporting platform designed to help you unlock the full potential of your smart meter.
It’s an energy management platform that gives you a complete picture of your energy consumption.
Easily set up and presenting information simply in graphs and tables, Clarity gives you all the data you need to see where you’re using energy, how much and when. When you understand your energy use, you can identify ways to reduce consumption, save money and cut your carbon footprint.
Clarity gives you:
A central place to view, analyse and report on your energy usage
Energy alarms sent via email – eliminating the risk of wasted consumption
Site comparison capabilities
The ability to organise data by type, time, site or supply
Dedicated help desk support
Do you need to access my energy data?
We must obtain your permission to access and view your meter’s half-hourly profile data to use Clarity. Once your Clarity account is set up, your half-hourly data will be fed into your online dashboard and you’ll be able to view, analyse and report on your energy usage.

Clarity allows you to set up a range of ‘snapshots’ that give you
a quick indication of the energy-related information that’s relevant to you and your business. This allows you to make a quick daily check to see if there are any problems or issues with the way you’re using energy.
You can also set alarms to alert you to certain scenarios. For example, if you suddenly use more energy than normal, an alarm can be raised that will quickly help you to identify the reason.
Clarity compiles the half-hourly data generated by your meters and makes sense of what’s happening across your estate.
It then presents your information in a range of reports, including interactive ones that allow you to quickly go from a top-level ‘helicopter’ view then drill down into further detail to examine any problems and exceptions within the data.
Clarity’s reports are divided into two different types: interactive reports that allow you to drill down into different levels of data and static reports that present the data in fixed formats.
Clarity Standard Interactive Reports
The Consumption Report
Allows you to plot consumption from electricity, gas, water, heat and even virtual meters. That data can be compared with consumption over multiple locations, time periods or utilities.
The Energy Contour Map
An effective way of visualising meter consumption data being used at a site, facility, area or specific plant. Using a colour-coding scheme to indicate the amount of energy being used, each half-hour period is shown across any given day. As well as providing a quick reference that highlights exceptional periods of usage, it can be further interrogated to look for problems and faults.
The Day/Night Split Report
Visualises the energy usage and cost during the day and then during the night. The horizontal data bars in the main report view graph are split between day and night hours. These bars are clickable to trigger a further graph within the drill down chart area.
The Top Hat Report
Profiles are an effective way of analysing short-term trends, exceptions and overuse in energy consumption. You can also display the outside air temperature, benchmark data and trading vs non-trading data. The main calendar view offers users a quick way to compare daily half hourly snapshots. Each is clickable to trigger a drill down graph showing a full view of that day’s data.
As well as interactive reports, Clarity produces a number of static reports that can provide further insight and can be easily shared with your colleagues.
Clarity Static Reports
The Annual Comparison Report
Generates year-on-year annual consumption data, displayed in weekly, monthly or quarterly intervals.
The Cumulative Consumption Report
Provides the aggregated consumption of up to a five-year period and can include a breakdown of sub-meters.
The Data Download Report
Allows an export of multiple meter data over varying time periods for spreadsheet analysis.
The Demand Report
Provides details of daily maximum and minimum demand across the selected period.
The kVA Capacity and Power Factor Report
Visualise levels of demand across a period of time, and also include power factor.
The Monthly Billing Data Report
Allows greater visibility of the cost of energy consumption for portfolio and individual site meters.
The Site Capacity Report
Allows comparison of peak usage against agreed capacity levels.
