Export your Electric & Gas Utility Billing Data

Our export data feature was created to help you save a lot of time across your farming operations and reporting. Now you can simply go to Wexus' "Export Info" page, click a few buttons, and export several years or specific months of electric (or gas) energy usage and billing data. This can significantly help your farm's administrators, accountants, and sustainability managers by cutting down the amount of hours spent manually inputting paper bills into spreadsheets every month.

To export your electric or gas billing data:

  1. Go to the "Export Info" button on your Wexus dashboard
  2. Select your utility service accounts/meters
  3. Select the time period
  4. Click the "Download Billing Data" button
  5. Download your Excel file in csv format

Export your Water Usage Data

Similar to our utility data export feature, our water data export feature was created to help you save a lot of time across your farming operations and reporting. Now you can simply go to Wexus' "My Bills" page, click a few buttons, and export several years or specific months of water usage data for specific irrigation pumps. This can significantly help your farm's certified crop advisors (CCAs), administrators, accountants, and sustainability managers by cutting down the amount of hours spent rolling trucks to pump sites and manually inputting water flowmeter usage data into spreadsheets every month.

To export your water usage data:

  1. Go to the "My Bills" button on the Wexus homepage
  2. Select your irrigation pump names
  3. Select the type of report you want to generate (General or reporting formats for specific counties in California)
  4. Select the time period
  5. Click the "Export Water Data" button
  6. Download your Excel file in csv format

How does Wexus Generate My Electric & Gas Utility Billing Data?

With your permission, Wexus automatically downloads energy billing and usage data directly from your utility provider (and water data directly from your flowmeter hardware vendor), then ties your costs and usage to pumps and buildings at your farm. Wexus then automatically logs trends over time and provides recommendations on how you can save money and energy, via text alerts and monthly email reports. You own your data. Wexus does not share your data with any other parties without your explicit permission.

We follow a highly-vetted process from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) that only allows customers to release their own energy data to third parties via a standard, signed release form through their utility. We are also a certified Data Guard (energy data privacy program) vendor with the U.S. Department of Energy, and we encrypt your data per software industry best practices. We value your privacy!

How Does Wexus Generate My Water Usage Data?

Wexus calculates your water data 3 ways:

  1. From a hardware device tied to a digital flowmeter installed at your pump (the most accurate method).
  2. From flow meter data you’ve already sent us in a spreadsheet.
  3. From estimated water usage based on your pump’s rated flow (GPM) & actual energy usage from each month’s utility bill and electric meter reading (the least accurate method).
