"Current Demand" indicates how many watts the current Area is using now. The lightning bolt icon indicates that all Zones in this area are using active power measurement, so you can be sure that the total is accurate. If one or more Zones are not collecting power measurements, a warning icon will appear, indicating that the total may not be accurate.

"Energy Usage" provides a simplified glance at power usage over the past week, compared with usage for the previous week. Click "View All" to see the full Energy view.
