Rookie mistake I made auditing MidAmerican Energy bills

Got a new car dealership client in Tucson and found something concerning. Client''s been paying $67,000 too much every month since 2015. Compared the interval data against the bill and found TOU allocation doesn''t match meter timestamps.
I''d recommend requesting the meter test records from CPS Energy. That''s what cracked my case open.
Great catch, Beverly. I''ve seen FirstEnergy do this before — it''s a systemic issue in their billing system.
Be careful with APS''s refund process — they sometimes try to limit the lookback period to 5 years.
Nice find. I''ve started using a Python script I wrote to cross-reference these calculations and it saves a ton of time.
Phil N, what was the client''s reaction when you showed them the $12,400 overcharge?
