Energy MonitoringReporting & Analysis
Each month an analyst reads your meter data and writes down what to change
A live dashboard shows what is happening now. A management meeting needs a written record of what happened, what it cost and what caused it. Each month an analyst turns your meter data into that document, names the three things to change, and reports the measured result of the last set of changes in the report after.
Time-of-use bands are where the cost concentrates
The same kilowatt-hour costs a different amount depending on the hour it was drawn, and a utility invoice does not show the split. Every Orijtech report carries it by default, against your own tariff where that differs from the standard bands.
| Band | Hours | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Off-peak | 12:00 AM – 6:00 AM | Lowest cost. The window flexible loads should be moved into where operations allow. |
| Shoulder | 6:00 AM – 6:00 PM | Standard daytime rate. Usually the largest block, and the part solar can reach. |
| Peak | 6:00 PM – 12:00 AM | Highest cost. Every kWh moved out of this band is worth more than one moved anywhere else. |
Band colours are separated by luminance as well as hue, so the order survives greyscale printing and colour-blind vision and a board pack stays readable either way.
What arrives each month
One document with four sections, and an analyst you can call about any of them.
Executive summary, one page
Total consumption, total cost, the band split, the three findings that matter and the recommended actions. Written so a CFO, a bursar or an accounting officer can read it in three minutes and act on it without opening the rest.
Cost attribution by area
Spend broken down by department, block, zone or meter, in UGX, compared against last month and the same month last year. This is the section that makes an energy reduction target something a manager can be held to.
Load and demand behaviour
Which loads are growing, which are stable, which are anomalous. Night and weekend baseload. Transformer loading against installed capacity. Power factor trend. The demand events that set your peak charge, and what was running when they happened.
Actions, and last month’s actions
Practical recommendations tied to named loads and schedules, and the measured result of whatever was agreed last month, so each report is answerable for the advice the one before it gave.
An analyst is available for a walkthrough on request, and quarterly reporting rolls the months up for board or committee use. If what you need instead is a one-off study with a defined scope, fixed deliverables and a procurement trail, that is an energy audit.
Read a full report rather than a description of one
A full monthly report with the client removed and the figures illustrative: the band split, cost by metered area, the load profile, the demand event that set the charge, the actions, and last month’s actions with their measured outcome.

UGX 36M/yr
Annual saving identified through load-shifting analysis — Sheraton Kampala Hotel
Monthly reporting showed peak-hour laundry operations driving a disproportionate share of the energy cost, because the same kilowatt-hours were bought in the most expensive tariff window. Shifting the schedule required no capital investment at all.
Read full case studyThe standard we hold the report to
Nobody checks every figure in a report, so these are the rules the analyst works to. They are published here so you can hold us to them.
- Facts are separated from recommendations
- Observations state what the meters recorded. Recommendations state what we think you should do about it. The two appear under separate headings so a reader can tell which is which.
- No unsupported savings claims
- If a saving cannot be traced to a measured load and a stated assumption, it does not go in the report. An estimate is labelled an estimate.
- Missing data is declared
- Gaps, damaged meters, communication outages and every data-cleaning assumption are written into the report, with the period each one affected.
- Tariff assumptions are shown
- Currency, tariff bands and rates used to convert kWh into UGX are stated, so you can check the arithmetic against your own bill.
- Unmetered load is named
- Where a significant part of the facility is still unmetered, the report names those loads, so the coverage behind every total is explicit.
Part of the monitoring service
This is one of the things Orijtech reads out of your monitoring data. It is not a separate installation and it needs no separate hardware.
Turn meter data into management decisions
Reporting starts as soon as your meters are live and a baseline month has been collected.
