Got a new auto repair shop client in Charleston and found something concerning. The TOU peak window on the bill doesn''t match the current tariff definition. The meter nameplate shows 200:5 but the billing system has 200:5.
Nice find. I''ve started using a Python script I wrote to cross-reference these calculations and it saves a ton of time.
James W, you should also check the rider calculations while you''re at it. These errors tend to cluster.

Don''t forget to check the TOU-GSD-A effective dates — Austin Energy backdated a rate change that caught me off guard.
