Wanted to share a lesson learned from a recent Wisconsin Energy audit. Compared the interval data against the bill and found 3 months of missing interval data. The TOU-GSD-A rate schedule clearly states power factor minimum 0.95, but the bill shows 100% ratchet applied.

Good work Nora V. For the folks following along, this is a textbook example of why we check power factor penalties on every audit.
Solid analysis. One thing I''d add is to verify the ratchet at 80% of peak against the original service application.
Nice find. I''ve started using a custom Excel template to cross-reference these calculations and it saves a ton of time.
Don''t forget to check the Schedule E-19 effective dates — Eversource backdated a rate change that caught me off guard.
Had the exact same problem with Alliant Energy last year. Took about 12 months to resolve but got full refund.
