In configurations → energy, then set the rate there. You need this for it to calculate.
Same problem, not working with static price.

I have the same problem only for the gas sensor (I’m using the Hildebrand Glow (DCC) and my gas sensor is in kWh). I tried to put a fixed price and an input_number with my gas rate but no luck. I can’t understand why the electric one is working with the same settings.
Is any news for gas sensor?
Sure, I did since the initial config, but It doesn’t work. And I am nor the only one
Same issue here, no errors.
Both using a manual value or a sensor which exposes the data below, the cost is always 0€.

Same problem here.
Work with the static price.
As soon as I create a helper and update it with the same price it doesn’t work
I have tried all suggestions (e.g. EUR/Kwh, less digits, $/Kwh) but nothing works for me
when use it at the energy tab I get the following
I can’t figure out how comes this threat has been solved?
I solved it by creating a template sensor for each energy consumption entity. It’s time consuming but I assume it’s necessary to make it work. I basically have a sensor of a sensor of a sensor now…
Here’s my current (now working) config:
Get power consumption via Rest sensor
sensor:
- platform: rest
resource: http://[local_ip_of_my_switch/report
value_template: "{{ value_json.power }}"
name: "Power Consumption [device]"
unit_of_measurement: W
device_class: power
Use the Riemann sum integral to calculate energy consumption from power consumption
sensor:
- platform: integration
source: sensor.power_consumption_[device]
name: "Riemann Energy Consumption [device]"
unit_prefix: k
round: 4
The sensor which is than added to the energy dashboard
sensor:
- platform: template
sensors:
energy_consumption_[device]:
friendly_name: "[device]"
unique_id: energy_consumption_[device]
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.riemann_energy_consumption_[device]') | float }}"
and finally the customization for the sensors added to the energy dashboard
homeassistant:
customize_glob:
sensor.energy_consumption_*:
unit_of_measurement: kWh
device_class: energy
state_class: total_increasing
Hope this solves it for some of you 
(To make this work you obviously have to have a tariff entity set up with a numeric value and {currency}/kWh as unit of measurement or set a static value)

Hey guys,
I am struggling with the energy dashboard as well. It’s calculating my produced solar energy and gives me the revenue for that based on the same sensor as the consumption cost, yet I don’t get any calculation on consumption.
I’ll post the sensors I am using:
From Tibber

state_cumulativeActivePowerImport: 20585.8
state_cumulativeReactivePowerImport: 33.2
unit_of_measurement: kWh
device_class: energy
friendly_name: JuiceBalancer Import energy
Yet I still don’t get any cost calculations in the energy dashboard. Do you have any ideas where to start or what might be wrong?
Thanks!

Just so everyone understands: if you use a static cost, a hidden sensor cost entity will be created. This entity will share the same entity_id as your energy sensor but will end with _cost. This entity must be recording to your database. If you’re filtering recorder, ensure this entity is included. Otherwise the cost will always be 0
Another thing that I just found out, check your customize and customize_glob entries if you still have issues. I had sensor.energy_delivered_* overwrite that was setting resets and device_class for them and the cost sensor that is automatically added as mentioned above was falling into the same glob. This caused my costs to be 0 all the time.
Hi petro,
Can you give me a tip, how to filtering recorder to include this entity (in a HA container)? My static costs are always 0.00.
And maybe you could suggest why I have 6 Tiers, which one should I use, these are all so different, I have only on tarif for day and night €0.21 per kWh.
You have to be recording history for all entities involved in the calculations, otherwise the results will be zero.
yes, it’s logical. But wher and how to manupulate this or any recordings, I’m totally new to HA… Is it somewhere in GUI?
it’s not working for me @ 2023.7.1
i am recording anything (or default settings of the recorder) and energy with static price is working
water and gas are not, tested helper (input_number) and static price, the cost always says 0€
any suggestions?
Same issue with static price.
Just configured it and it shows zero cost, but there is consumption history.
I saw an info with “After setting up a new device, it can take up to 2 hours for new data to arrive in your energy dashboard.”, I will recheck after some time.
HA 2024.1.5, OS 11.4
Seems that energy cost is calculated starting from config time, even if there is history.
Now the cost is increasing (today timeframe, but yesterday still shows 0 cost):
Energy does not use history to make calculations, it uses long term statistics. It will only calculate from the time the entities were configured and added to the energy dashboard.

There is a bug if you change the id of the original entity. Then we I set again the price, it does not create another entity with the right id_cost.
The _cost entity stays the same and can not be deleted.
Do you have an idea how to delete it ?
I found how to delete it.
In dev tools, find the entity, it the ID starts with the same id as the entity. Click on the “Info” icon of the entity, then on the gog wheel and a delete button is displayed. Or may be change the id of the entity to match the right one.
