Output file - electricity tariff

Hi! I modeled my buiding with OpenStudio. I'm also using jeplus to change the HVAC setpoints during the night(at night electricity costs changes) so I can find the setpoints that reflects the lower electricity costs. Changing my HVAC setpoints during the night will give me thousands of simulations. I'm trying to find in my *.rdd file any output variable that is related with tariffs/costs but with no success. As changing HVAC setpoints during the night will give me thousands of simulation jobs it's impossible to add the electricity tariff to an excel spreadsheet(after using ReadVarsEso) by hand and then multiply each hour tariff by the each hour Facility Total Purchased Electric Power and then obtain the Facility Total Purchased Electric cost for the run period(1 week). Exists any measure that can add the tariff to the *.eso file and then multiply the tariff by the Facility Total Purchased Electric Power? Do you know any other way I can solve this problem? Thank you
