Frequently Asked Questions

Energy bill validation and cost recovery services systematically audit utility invoices against contracts and metre data to correct inaccuracies, such as erroneous non-commodity charges or faulty meter reads.

What is energy bill validation?

Energy bill validation is the process of checking supplier invoices against contract terms and consumption data to ensure charges are accurate.

How common are energy billing errors?

Billing errors are relatively common, particularly in complex or multi-site portfolios, and can result in significant overpayments if not identified.

Can businesses recover overpaid energy costs?

Yes. Where billing errors are identified, suppliers can be required to refund overpayments or correct future invoices.

How often should energy bills be validated?

Ideally, invoices should be validated on an ongoing basis (monthly or quarterly) to ensure accuracy and prevent long-term discrepancies.

Do I need smart meters for bill validation?

Smart meters improve data accuracy, but validation can still be carried out using existing metering and consumption data.
