Need some experienced eyes on a PSE&G billing issue. The utility''s position is that the demand reading is accurate, but the tariff language doesn''t support that. The demand ratchet is being applied at 90% instead of the tariff''s 70%.
Good work Patricia W. For the folks following along, this is a textbook example of why we check TOU allocation on every audit.
This is exactly why I always pull 24+ months of history. The pattern wouldn''t show in a shorter window.
Had the exact same problem with FPL last year. Took about 48 months to resolve but got full refund.
Good work Larry T. For the folks following along, this is a textbook example of why we check voltage discounts on every audit.
