Energy bills are too complex to take at face value.
Multiple suppliers, thousands of meters, changing tariffs, network charges, levies and flexible wholesale pricing. Somewhere in that detail there could be a charge you shouldn't be paying.
And the rules keep changing. Market-wide half-hourly settlement, network charging reform and shifting levies all change how your bills are calculated.
energy bills we recalculated failed an Optima accuracy check.
Every bill builds on the last.
We don't just read the bill. We recalculate it against a foundation of your contracts, meters and rates, and every validated bill extends that foundation for the next one.
- FoundationYour sites, meters, contracts and rates, set up once and kept up to date as your portfolio changes.
- RecalculateEach bill is collected from your suppliers and every charge rebuilt against that foundation and the published rates.
- Flag and actDiscrepancies come with the evidence attached, so you can challenge the supplier and recover the money.
- Carry forwardValidated reads, consumption and resolved queries become part of the record, so each bill is checked against more history than the last.
