Estimation Methodology:

  • If actual data for the last months of the reporting period isn’t available at the time of reporting, follow this approach:

Step-by-Step Estimation Rule:

  • Use actual monthly data for all available months in the reporting year.

  • Calculate the monthly average from the available months.

  • Multiply that average by the number of missing months to estimate those periods.

  • Add the estimated consumption to the actual year-to-date total.

If your invoice shows data in cubic meters (Nm³). You need to convert this into kilowatt-hours (kWh) for consistent reporting. If your invoice shows Nm³, than use the below formula:

kWh = Nm³ × 𝑥

Note that the value of 𝑥 is dependent on which region you operate in:

  • EU-based operations: Use 10.55

  • UK-based operations: Use 10.89

  • US-based operations (metric): Use 9.81

  • US-based operations (imperial): Convert from Therms
    (1 Therm = 29.3 kWh)

  • Serbia-based operations: Use 9.50

  • India-based operations: Use 10.56
