Comparative data explained
What is comparative data? It is a set of data that you compare your draft plan against. The dataset shown under comparative data is also used to calculate other elements of your new plan.

Example used is Energy. This shows an estimated average price for each month in the plan and is combined with the usage (multiplied) to get the values. You can edit these prices as required. You can see there is added a price of 1 for gas in most months below. […]
Volume/usage/consumption explained
Example used is kWh from GoGreen. This shows the quantity of each resource we expect to use. The values come from the Live Forecast when this plan was first created. It’s fair to say that the values may differ in Live Forecast today, that’s why best practise is to review and submit your […]
