Looking at my electric bill, there’s a section saying “this percent came from [ex: Air conditioner, major appliances (fridge, oven), etc]”. How do they know that?
In: 383
I can’t say that o have seen that specific detail on my bill ever here on Australia
Do you have a smart meter installed? It could be that those appliances are connected seperately to the meter and the smart meter can report those seperately? Or the smart meter is making an estimate based on the load spikes or decreases

They may also be guessing based on weather, average household patterns in the area etc
