Caught Puget Sound Energy seasonal rate misapplication going back 3 years

Been auditing manufacturing plant accounts for 6 years and never seen this before. The Schedule TS rate schedule clearly states ratchet at 80% of peak, but the bill shows winter rates applied year-round. The demand ratchet is being applied at 85% instead of the tariff''s 70%.

Great catch, Brett O. I''ve seen MidAmerican Energy do this before — it''s a systemic issue in their billing system.

Good work Brett O. For the folks following along, this is a textbook example of why we check rate schedule on every audit.
