Energy rates (peak shoulder and off-peak)
A business can be charged a different rate from what they committed to in their energy contract.
Bill Validation checks the energy rates on the bill comparing it to the contracted rates and anything more than 1% out of tolerance will be flagged with the business.
Network rates
Incorrect network rates can be applied to a large-market energy bill.
Bill Validation ensures the business is being billed the correct rate for the particular tariff type that has been set by the distributor based on the business’ load profile.
Demand rates
Incorrect demand rates can be applied to a large-market energy bill.
Bill Validation checks what has been billed for demand usage against what the meter data states.
Renewables
Environmental charges set by the regulator are passed onto a business via their retailer as a power percentage. There can be discrepancies in rates or calculations based on what the business signed in their contract.
Bill Validation checks the environmental charge passed on against what was listed in the retailer agreement.
Energy usage
If the Peak, Off Peak and Shoulder usage on the energy bill doesn't match the meter data, this could be a sign the business is being over or under charged.
Bill Validation checks against the metering data if what is on the bill matches the metering data.
*Please note, as a benefit of our Shield Metering and Monitoring service and in addition to the monthly Bill Validation, your business receives an annual Network and Demand Tariff Analysis, which can equate to up to 60% of your entire electricity bill. You can learn more here or speak with your energy manager for further information on this service.
Choice Energy validates in excess of 23,200 bill charges each month to ensure clients are being charged for what they actually use.
