Wanted to share a lesson learned from a recent Xcel Energy audit. Compared the interval data against the bill and found demand values that exceed physical capacity. The demand ratchet is being applied at 85% instead of the tariff''s 60%.

PSA: Idaho Power new Schedule LGS effective next month
Had the exact same problem with Avista last year. Took about 18 months to resolve but got full refund.
Great catch, Scott H. I''ve seen PSE&G do this before — it''s a systemic issue in their billing system.
Solid analysis. One thing I''d add is to verify the power factor minimum 0.95 against the original service application.
Nice find. I''ve started using the AAUBA audit workbook to cross-reference these calculations and it saves a ton of time.
