FirstEnergy Augusta territory — anyone have contacts?
Good work Ruth E. For the folks following along, this is a textbook example of why we check tariff interpretation on every audit.
I''d recommend requesting the meter test records from Alabama Power. That''s what cracked my case open.
Pro tip: ask for the billing determinant detail, not just the bill summary. The devil''s in the details with TECO Energy.
