About WattClear

WattClear is operated by Burak Köroğlu. Its editor writes as Alex Reyes, and the background behind that name is set out on the methodology page.

Every figure is computed, not typed. A tariff published in the NREL/OpenEI Utility Rate Database is priced by the site’s rate engine at a stated consumption — either one a reader enters, or a household average from the EIA’s Residential Energy Consumption Survey. Each page names the records it used and the date they were retrieved, and a figure that cannot be computed is shown as not available rather than estimated.

Coverage is a sample, not the whole country: a utility missing from the site is one that has not been indexed yet.

The explanatory text on the state, utility and appliance pages is generated from the figures on the same page, so it changes when they do. The guides are reviewed by the editor before publication.

WattClear is not a utility, an energy broker, a supplier, or a financial adviser, and has no commercial relationship with any utility whose rates it publishes.

Estimate based on published tariff data. Your actual bill may differ. WattClear is not a utility, broker, or financial advisor.

The site is free to use. It is meant to be funded by display advertising, kept apart from the figures: advertising does not decide which plans appear or how they are ranked. The privacy page sets out what advertising may store and how to opt out.

If a figure looks wrong, the contact page says what to send so it can be checked against the utility’s own filing.
