Energyplus retrieving instantaneous energy consumption

I am working on a reinforcement learning agent for optimizing energy consumption.

What am I trying to do is, to retrieve the information about the energy consumption for each timestep, but I am unsure what is the specific variable that will allow me to get that information.

Is it meter? or is there a variable that I should use?

I am using EnergyPlus python API for this project.

Thanks again.

Yes, you can retrieve runtime energy use at each time-step (and many other variables like temperatures), as described here (via output variables and/or output meters - depends on what you're after). Ensure reporting frequencies are "timestep". This API method may be what you're after.
