A high bill can come from contract terms, an ill-suited tariff, reactive energy charges or the way equipment runs. That is why we check every item on the invoice together and compare it with the site’s actual load profile.
What we check
- Energy purchasing. Active energy price, retail fees, indexation and contract term. We compare offers on your actual load profile, including termination terms.
- Distribution tariff. A simulation of the available tariff groups and time zones, and a check of the eligibility rules, rates and billing method.
- Contracted capacity. Demand peaks and overruns. Matching capacity with a margin, sequencing start-ups and load control.
- Reactive energy. Inductive and capacitive reactive energy charges. Details under reactive power compensation.
- Other distribution charges. Capacity market, network, quality, renewables, CHP and subscription charges, as far as they apply to you.
- Solar PV and storage. Import, export, self-consumption, power limits, efficiency and control strategy. We assess the economics of the whole system.
- Gas and heat. Tariffs, ordered capacity, fixed and variable charges, and whether contract parameters match real needs.
Limits of optimisation
We check every invoice item, but not every rate can be negotiated. Some costs depend on the contract, some on the load profile and some on regulated billing rules. For each item we state plainly whether it can change through the contract, tariff, billing parameters, load profile or consumption, or only through correcting an error.
What to prepare
- Invoices from the last 12–24 months.
- Contracts and annexes with suppliers and grid operators.
- A list of metering points.
- Meter data (15-minute profile), if available.
- Operating hours, a short description of the installation and planned changes.
If something is missing, the analysis is still possible; gaps are described in the report as its limitations.
What you get
A report with the scope and limitations of the analysis, the baseline, the items you can influence, options with costs and assumptions, and a way to check the effect on the following invoices.
