Had a breakthrough on a PEPCO case this week. Sales tax is being charged even though the client has a valid exemption certificate on file. The Schedule B-19 rate schedule clearly states seasonal rates apply May-October, but the bill shows no PF adjustment shown.
Solid analysis. One thing I''d add is to verify the power factor minimum 0.95 against the original service application.
Great catch, Linda F. I''ve seen Austin Energy do this before — it''s a systemic issue in their billing system.
Frank O, what was the client''s reaction when you showed them the $234,000 overcharge?

Don''t forget to check the Schedule LPS effective dates — APS backdated a rate change that caught me off guard.
