Energy Costs in the App
We are launching a feature many users have asked for: energy costs directly in the Zerofy app.
The rollout is gradual and will continue over the next few weeks.
Until now, users could already track energy flows and consumption very closely. The next step is making that visibility directly cost-aware, so users can understand not only how much energy is used, but also what it means in actual currency terms.
How cost calculation works
The calculation combines two core inputs:
- The user-configured electricity tariff
- Grid consumption data from the connected setup
Where direct grid-consumption values are not explicitly available from the source integration, Zerofy applies internal disaggregation logic to derive the grid component as accurately as possible.
This is important because many real-world installations differ in how data is exposed. We want cost visibility to work across those variations, not only in ideal setups.
Built for the complexity of real tariffs
Tariff structures across Europe are highly heterogeneous. Some users have simple fixed rates, others have dynamic spot-based pricing, and many have hybrid or time-dependent models.
The new cost layer is designed to support this diversity rather than forcing a narrow model. It works with dynamic tariffs, fixed tariffs, and common time-based structures configured by users.
In total, we currently support 10,000+ tariffs across Europe.
Why this feature matters
Cost transparency is a key part of trustworthy energy automation. When users can see cost outcomes next to energy behavior, optimization decisions become easier to understand and validate.
It also improves everyday decision-making. Manual overrides, device usage patterns, and scheduling preferences are much easier to evaluate when users can see their direct cost impact.
This release is one more step toward making Zerofy not only automated, but also transparent and actionable.
