Growing from solo to small team — lessons learned

Wanted to share a lesson learned from a recent Duke Energy audit. Compared the interval data against the bill and found a 15% variance in peak demand. The utility''s position is that the rate change was communicated, but the tariff language doesn''t support that.
Pro tip: ask for the billing determinant detail, not just the bill summary. The devil''s in the details with Austin Energy.
I disagree with the approach of going straight to the PUC. Try the utility''s escalation process first — it''s faster.

Solid analysis. One thing I''d add is to verify the demand measured at 15-min intervals against the original service application.
Excellent discussion everyone. Norm R, your approach on this ComEd case is solid. For newer members, this is a great example of why thorough tariff review is essential.
