Utility Audit typically works on a performance-based model for qualified engagements. Fees are tied to verified savings, refunds, or credits identified through the audit process, helping align our success with measurable client outcomes.
Timelines vary based on account complexity, utility providers, and the number of locations involved. Most engagements begin with a review of historical billing data, followed by analysis, documentation of findings, and support through any correction or recovery efforts.
Most electric utility audits begin with recent utility invoices and basic account information. Additional documentation may be requested when needed to validate rate schedules, demand charges, tariff application, or historical billing activity.
Common findings may include incorrect rate classifications, tariff application issues, demand charge discrepancies, billing determinant errors, utility rider inaccuracies, and other billing exceptions that can affect overall utility costs.
Yes. Utility Audit supports organizations with single-site, regional, and multi-location utility portfolios across a wide range of industries. Multi-site reviews often help identify inconsistencies, billing exceptions, and opportunities that may not be visible when locations are reviewed individually.
When findings are identified, Utility Audit documents the issue, supports review and validation efforts, and helps track correction activity through resolution. The goal is not only to identify opportunities, but also to help ensure appropriate actions are taken and results are properly reflected going forward.
