What is Cost Plus?
Cost Plus is the cost you pay for the kW electricity (tariff) plus the profit you would like over that cost.
The availability of cost plus on the Back Office platform does not depend on the hardware you have installed. It refers to the combined cost of electricity and the profit margin you desire. Suppose you pay 15 cents per kW and aim to earn a profit of 0.05. You know that for every kW of energy, you are making .05 cents
