Energy Management Guide 

Does your bill seem higher than usual? We understand that fluctuations are cause for concern. Start with understanding your bill and then learn about other common causes for high bills and solutions to help you control your energy usage and lower your costs.

Recognizing Other Billing Factors

The number of days in your billing cycle, estimated meter reads, adjustments and other non-usage charges (deposits, connection fees, returned checks, Transmission and Distribution Utility pass-through charges, etc.) can impact your bill amount. Understanding these additional fees and charges can help you better forecast and manage your company’s monthly energy cost. Learn more about your bill here.

Understanding How Weather Affects Your Invoice

Weather is typically the number one cause of high bills. Significant swings in outside temperature may make your electric cooling and heating equipment operate for longer periods of time than usual. Only a few days of extreme temperatures can increase your usage and cause your bill to be noticeably higher. By tracking temperature changes and seasonal patterns, you can better understand and plan for how weather affects your business’s electricity usage and costs. Learn how weather can affect your electricity usage.
