Caught Puget Sound Energy fuel adjustment error going back 6 years
I disagree with the approach of going straight to the PUC. Try the utility''s escalation process first — it''s faster.
Clarence B, what was the client''s reaction when you showed them the $23,000 overcharge?
Nice find. I''ve started using interval data analysis software to cross-reference these calculations and it saves a ton of time.
Don''t forget to check the Schedule TS effective dates — Dominion Energy backdated a rate change that caught me off guard.
This is exactly why I always pull 24+ months of history. The pattern wouldn''t show in a shorter window.
Great work Mike S. This case illustrates why AAUBA emphasizes the audit methodology taught in our training — systematic verification catches errors that spot-checking misses.
