Energy Intelligence data is automatically refreshed overnight. However, if you have made changes to the Best Available Data Configuration, or you have added Data such as Bills or Half Hourly data, you may want to manually refresh the Data.
More information on the Best Available Data can be found here: Best Available Consumption options in Energy Intelligence.
