Network charges — the poles-and-wires half of a commercial electricity bill — are set by your local distributor and passed straight through. Wrong tariffs, billing errors and one bad half-hour spike leak thousands a year, silently. We re-calculate every network charge from your own meter data, every month, and recover what leaks.
Get a free bill audit How it worksYour retailer's bill bundles the competitive electricity charge with the regulated network charge. Brokers fight over the first half. The second half — often 40–50% of the total — sits in an accountability vacuum: the retailer just passes it through, the distributor has no reason to correct it, and you have no tools to re-derive it.
The electricity itself. Negotiable, shopped by brokers, squeezed hard. Already well served — not our territory.
Rent for the wires, set annually by your monopoly distributor from a public tariff menu, passed through untouched. Not negotiable — but frequently wrong, and frequently not the cheapest eligible menu item. This is our entire focus.
Distributors publish a menu of network tariffs and re-price it every July. Your site was assigned to one years ago — often by default — and nobody re-checks eligibility against how you actually use power now.
Most C&I tariffs bill your single highest 30-minute draw each month — sometimes locking it in for 12 months. One coincident equipment start can cost more than a month of actual usage.
Wrong tariff codes, missed July rate updates, wrong demand reads, power-factor penalties. Nobody re-derives the bill from raw interval data — so errors persist for years.
Your smart meter records usage every 30 minutes. We ingest that raw data, rebuild what your network charges should be under your distributor's published rules, and compare it to what you were billed. Three layers of protection, running continuously.
Billed vs. should-have-been-billed, checked line by line every month.
Your actual usage simulated against every eligible tariff on the distributor's public menu.

Sign a simple letter of authority. Provide recent bills and 12–24 months of interval meter data (your retailer supplies it on request — we'll walk you through the 5-minute ask).
Our engine re-derives every historical bill, tests every eligible tariff, and locates every peak event. You receive a one-page findings report per site: what leaked, what's recoverable, what's avoidable.
Credit claims filed, tariff reassignment lodged via your retailer, demand-fix playbook handed to your operations team. Money lands in your account — then we invoice our share.
The same leaks reopen constantly: rates reset every July, one spike can set a year of charges, errors recur. Monthly monitoring re-checks every bill, watches every peak live, and guards your reassignment window — with a one-page dollar statement every month.
A percentage of recovered overcharges and of verified first-year savings from changes we drive. Verified means re-rated on your own meter data — before vs. after, identical usage. No finding, no fee.
Continuous re-checking of every bill, live peak alerts, July re-price re-optimisation and reassignment-window guarding across your whole portfolio. Trivial against the bill it protects.

It's the standard file of your smart meter's half-hourly readings — your retailer must provide it on request, free. Email us and we'll send you the exact two-line request to forward to your retailer. Takes five minutes; they typically respond within ten business days.
Nothing. The audit is free, always. We only earn a share of money that actually lands — recovered overcharges or verified savings from changes we drive. No finding, no fee, ever.
By subtraction, on your own data: we re-calculate your charges on identical usage before and after any change. It's arithmetic against published price schedules, not an estimate on a slide.
Only if you ask us to. The audit sometimes shows your retail rates are also above market — if so, we can assist with a retailer comparison and switch as a separate, optional step. The core audit works whoever your retailer is, and you never have to change anything to receive it.
Your meter data is commercially sensitive and we treat it that way: used solely to produce your audit, never sold or shared, deleted on request. See our Privacy Policy.
No. Everything happens on paper: analysis, credit claims and tariff paperwork filed through your retailer. Same wires, same electricity, same reliability — only the charges change.
One email starts the audit. Attach your meter data and a recent bill — our system validates the data and begins the analysis automatically. If we find nothing, you've lost nothing. If we find money, you keep most of it.
