Facility monthly electric load factor (FMELF) calculator

Compare actual energy with continuous operation at the billing-period peak.

\mathrm{FMELF} = \frac{E_{\text{month}}}{D_{\text{peak}} \times h_{\text{month}}}

Calculator

Enter the values you know and leave one box empty. Calculate finds the empty one, the result or any input.

Given

\mathrm{FMELF} = \frac{216{,}000}{500 \times 720} = 0.6

Symbol	Meaning	Unit
$\mathrm{FMELF}$	monthly load factor	decimal
$E_{\text{month}}$	metered energy during billing period	kWh
$h_{\text{month}}$	hours during the actual billing period	h
$D_{\text{peak}}$	peak demand during that period	kW

Results are estimates for study and screening. Check the inputs, units and assumptions before you use them for design, billing or contract decisions.
