Extract text from Energy meter reports (PG1)
To convert PG1 Reports to another format, you need Special Energy Meter Software or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Telemetry Log" file type, you need software like Special Energy Meter Software or a similar tool.
The .PG1 file extension is primarily a data log format associated with Energy Accounting Meter Reports, specifically generated by hardware from Special Energy Meter and similar industrial providers. These files contain raw telemetry data, capturing interval usage, voltage metrics, and accounting logs used in power grid management and industrial auditing.
Because .PG1 files are often proprietary binary dumps or non-standard text streams, they are famously difficult to open without the original Special Energy Meter software. Users frequently face friction when trying to import these logs into standard tools like Microsoft Excel, as the formatting does not align with standard CSV or XML schemas.
Note: A significant portion of .PG1 files found in the wild are unrelated to energy; they are often legacy Apple II disk images (notably from the Golden Orchard collection) or split volume files (e.g., page 1 of a fax or scan) created by older imaging utilities.
For energy data, the best conversion target is CSV or XLSX for analysis. For preservation or sharing of reports, converting to PDF is recommended. If you suspect the file is a split archive or disk image, specialized tools like 7-Zip or an Apple II emulator may be required.
Convert.Guru analyzes your PG1 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MARKER, DICTIONARY and PG2 files.
If you want to convert PG1 file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use Special Energy Meter Software or similar software from the "Energy Accounting Meter Report" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to PG1, try Special Energy Meter Software or another comparable tool in the "Energy Accounting Meter Report" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our PG1 converter.
