By 1 April 2010 all businesses covered by the CRC will by law be fitted with half hourly meters, and many have had these fitted for years now. By providing half hourly averages grid averages on a simple excel format through this site a business could easily marry these with its own half hourly readings for 2009 for a much more accurate indication of its carbon usage. Office based companies would likely have an increased carbon footprint due to their peak time energy demands while 24 hour plants would have lesser readings. This brings fairness to the business user, a more accurate indication of environmental impact and is simple and straightforward to implement.
