In case of common flat-rate pricing for power, in which all purchases are at a given rate, 'consumptionTier'=0. Otherwise, the value indicates the consumption tier, which can be used in conjunction with TOU or CPP pricing.
Consumption tier pricing refers to the method of billing in which a certain "block" of energy is purchased/sold at one price, after which the next block of energy is purchased at another price, and so on, all throughout a defined period. At the start of the defined period, consumption is initially zero, and any usage is measured against the first consumption tier ('consumptionTier'=1). If this block of energy is consumed before the end of the period, energy consumption moves to be reconed against the second consumption tier ('consumptionTier'=2), and so on. At the end of the defined period, the consumption accumulator is reset, and usage within the 'consumptionTier'=1 restarts.
