Business energy invoice auditing — identify errors, overcharges and unnecessary costs.
We review energy invoices, contracted charges and the wider cost structure to identify errors, overcharges and opportunities that can otherwise go unnoticed.
Energy costs are about more than the unit rate.
Business energy invoices can contain a complex mix of commodity, network, metering, capacity, standing and other non-commodity charges.
We examine those costs against your contracts, consumption and site requirements to help establish whether you are paying what you should be paying.
Where discrepancies or potential savings are identified, we help investigate them and pursue the appropriate supplier or industry party.
A detailed review of your commercial energy costs.
Our auditing approach can cover both current billing and historic charges, depending on the information available and the requirements of your business.
Invoice & Contract Validation
- Contracted unit rates and standing charges
- Consumption and meter data
- Billing periods and estimated reads
- Agreed contract terms and pass-through charges
- Credits, adjustments and rebilling
Network & Site Charges
- Available capacity and capacity charges
- Distribution and transmission related costs
- Metering and data charges
- Site-specific charging arrangements
- Opportunities to challenge avoidable costs
Non-Commodity Costs
- Government and industry scheme charges
- Supplier pass-through calculations
- Reconciliation and retrospective adjustments
- Cost changes that may affect future budgets
Historic Review
- Potential billing errors and overpayments
- Missing credits or incorrect adjustments
- Unexplained changes in charges
- Opportunities for recovery where appropriate
From invoice checking to commercial cost control.
We do not simply look for mathematical errors. We consider how the invoice relates to the contract, the site's consumption profile and the wider charging structure.
This can help identify immediate billing issues while also highlighting areas where future energy costs may be managed more effectively.
Where an issue is identified
We can help establish the cause, quantify the potential financial impact and work with the relevant supplier or industry party to seek clarification, correction or recovery.
The objective is straightforward: greater visibility, fewer avoidable costs and improved confidence in your energy expenditure.
Reduce the risk of problems being carried forward.
Billing issues can continue for months if they are not identified. Regular review can help businesses detect unusual charges earlier and maintain a clearer understanding of energy expenditure.
