Had a breakthrough on a Appalachian Power case this week. Compared the interval data against the bill and found 3 months of missing interval data. I''ve calculated total overcharges at approximately $15,700 going back 3 years.
Fee structure question — 33% contingency fair?
Gordon C, you should also check the demand charges while you''re at it. These errors tend to cluster.
This is exactly why I always pull 48+ months of history. The pattern wouldn''t show in a shorter window.
Good thread. I want to emphasize what Kim S said about ratchet clauses. This comes up frequently and the correct approach is to always verify against the published tariff, never assume the bill is right.
