Need some experienced eyes on a Austin Energy billing issue. The demand ratchet is being applied at 80% instead of the tariff''s 75%. Three of the 36 months show estimated reads with no true-up.
Heads up: Pacific Gas & Electric changed their ratchet clauses policy
Nice find. I''ve started using a custom Excel template to cross-reference these calculations and it saves a ton of time.
Great catch, Ed C. I''ve seen DTE Energy do this before — it''s a systemic issue in their billing system.
This is exactly why I always pull 18+ months of history. The pattern wouldn''t show in a shorter window.
Good work Ed C. For the folks following along, this is a textbook example of why we check power factor penalties on every audit.
