Question about MidAmerican Energy ratchet clauses

Started by Tina R. — 5 years ago — 3 views
Had a breakthrough on a TECO Energy case this week. I''ve calculated total overcharges at approximately $5,800 going back 3 years. The utility''s position is that the demand reading is accurate, but the tariff language doesn''t support that.
Good work Tina R. For the folks following along, this is a textbook example of why we check demand charges on every audit.
Don''t forget to check the Rate 20 effective dates — Ameren Missouri backdated a rate change that caught me off guard.
Pro tip: ask for the billing determinant detail, not just the bill summary. The devil''s in the details with Empire District Electric.
