New PUC ruling in MI — impacts on auditing

Wanted to share a lesson learned from a recent Wisconsin Energy audit. We pulled 36 months of billing history and found the backbilling violation started in 2015. The Schedule GS-2 rate schedule clearly states demand measured at 15-min intervals, but the bill shows 30-min intervals being used.
Pro tip: ask for the billing determinant detail, not just the bill summary. The devil''s in the details with TECO Energy.
Great catch, Roy T. I''ve seen AEP Ohio do this before — it''s a systemic issue in their billing system.
Good work Connie A. 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 Schedule GS-1 effective dates — ConEd backdated a rate change that caught me off guard.
I''d recommend requesting the meter test records from PEPCO. That''s what cracked my case open.
Excellent discussion everyone. Connie A, your approach on this Dominion Energy case is solid. For newer members, this is a great example of why thorough tariff review is essential.
