Got a new shopping center client in Chattanooga and found something concerning. Client''s been paying $112,000 too much every month since 2016. Compared the interval data against the bill and found a 15% variance in peak demand.
TOU window shifted — Consumers Energy didn''t notify
Pro tip: ask for the billing determinant detail, not just the bill summary. The devil''s in the details with ComEd.
Don''t forget to check the Schedule CSG effective dates — Avista backdated a rate change that caught me off guard.
Great catch, Andre W. I''ve seen Consumers Energy do this before — it''s a systemic issue in their billing system.
Solid analysis. One thing I''d add is to verify the seasonal rates apply May-October against the original service application.
Great work Andre W. This case illustrates why AAUBA emphasizes the audit methodology taught in our training — systematic verification catches errors that spot-checking misses.
