Is there a way I can find out how many Kilowatt Hours (kwh) a local business uses? A public database perhaps?

Question

Aside from calling up these local businesses and asking them, how will I be able to find out how much electricity companies uses in KWH? (Kilowatt Hours)

Answer 1

spy on the meter

Answer 2

It is probably not public record like property tax is. It is a private financial transaction between the power company and customer.

Answer 3

This information is not available to you if the business is a private one.

If it's a certain type of charity or a publically-funded governmental office, you can find the info.

In the case of a charity, they're required to make this information available. In the case of a governmental office, you can file a Freedom of Information Act seeking the utility bills.

As for private businesses, they are indeed private. Would you want a stranger digging through your finances?  Neither do they.

Answer 4

Go round back and read their meter once a month.
