Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with controlling a comparison of energy costs for a current and a previous billing cycle are described. In one embodiment, current billing data and previous billing data are received. A variable having a different value for the current billing than for the previous billing data is identified. A value of the variable in the current billing data is modified with a value of the variable in the previous billing data to determine a hypothetical energy cost for the current billing cycle based on the value of the variable in the previous billing data. A cost difference between the total cost of energy for the current billing cycle and the hypothetical energy cost is determined, and a personalized data structure for an energy user is generated. The data structure includes an individual contribution of the modified value of the variable toward the cost difference.
