Adding This Tool to Your WordPress Site

This tool is a single self-contained HTML file. There are two recommended ways to embed it in WordPress:

  1. Recommended — iFrame embed via HTML block. Upload this file to your server (e.g. via FTP or Media Library for HTML, or your theme's /public folder), then embed it in any WordPress page using the HTML block:
<iframe
  src="https://yoursite.com/wp-content/uploads/bchydro_peak_shaving_tool.html"
  width="100%"
  height="900px"
  style="border:none; min-height:900px;"
  allow="downloads"
></iframe>

Adjust the src path to wherever you uploaded the file. Set height to at least 900px. The allow="downloads" attribute enables the CSV and PDF export buttons to work inside the iframe.

  1. Alternative — Full page template. Create a new WordPress page and set it to use a “Full Width” or “Blank Canvas” page template (most themes support this). Then paste the entire contents of this HTML file into a Custom HTML block. This avoids the iframe entirely.

Notes: The tool runs entirely in the browser — no server-side code or database is required. No customer data is uploaded anywhere. Works with Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, and standard Gutenberg blocks.
