This is what the daily usage email looked like back in 2007, when I firset created MANS. The email contained the daily meter reading and calculated kWh used. I found that members liked it, but really had no idea what that kWh was actually costing them.

This is what the daily usage email looks like today. Since the initial email in 2007, many enhancements have been added, such as:

• Message of the day
• Energy tip of the day
• Daily Reading
• Calculated Daily kWh
• Calculated daily cost
• Calculated current cycle cost
• High and low temperature

This is the email that gets sent to the members who have signed up under the MANS program that have multiple sub accounts. Members manage the reports that they receive on the "My Account" section of the Daffron eBiz portal.

It includes:

• Message of the day
• Energy tip of the day
• Daily Reading
• Calculated Daily kWh
• Calculated daily cost
• Calculated current cycle cost
• High and low temperature

This is a sample of the Daily Usage Email that the member receives.

Monthly Power Usage email

This is the email that gets sent to the members who have signed up under the MANS program.

High Power Usage email

This is the email that gets sent to the members who have signed up under the MANS program to be alerted of usages exceeding their normal threshold.

We are currently using the "Optional Data Requirements" (BLPLOCT.LOCD10) field in the "Location Maintenance" for tracking who receives the Threshold notification emails. Any number in the "Usage Alert Threshold" field indicates that they have opted into receiving these notifications. The number indicates at what level they receive the alert. This value has a multiplier of 10. A value of "7" would indicate that they would be notified when their daily usage exceeds 70 kWh.

Outage Alert email

This is the email that gets sent to the members who have signed up under the MANS program to be alerted of known outages affecting their location.

We are currently using the "Optional Data Requirements" (BLPLOCT.LOCD9) field in the "Location Maintenance" for tracking who receives the outage alert notification emails. A value of "Y" in the "Outage Alert" field indicates that they have opted into receiving these notifications.

Below is a sample email.

Beat-the-Peak Notification email

This is the email that gets sent to the members who have signed up under the MANS program to be alerted when there is a Beat-the-Peak period. This report runs from a web page: www.insidennec.com/nnecdas/beatthepeakmessage.asp. It must be run manually. When executed, you must select if itrs a summer or winter alert.

Summer Message:

Employee notification:

After the Beat-the-Peak emails have gone out, the program sends a status email, like the one shown below, to all employees. This lets the employees know that we will be implementing a beat the peak, and helps them to answer any questions from members.
