A manufacturer was carrying capacity charges for equipment removed two years earlier — plus Climate Change Levy applied in error across three sites. We found it in the invoices and proved the case for recovery. Figures are illustrative of the leakage we find.
Recoverable overcharges identified across three sites and eleven meters.
Four distinct overcharges across the portfolio, every one traced to a specific meter and billing period.
Capacity charges on a removed freezer line (Leeds, 24 months) — £21,400. The agreed supply capacity on that meter was never reduced after the equipment was decommissioned.
Climate Change Levy charged without relief (all 3 sites, 18 months) — £18,900. The CCA discount was dropped during a supplier billing-system migration and the gap went unnoticed.
Duplicate standing charge after meter exchange (Wakefield, 9 months) — £4,300. Old and replacement MPAN were billed in parallel.
Reactive power adjustment mis-applied (Doncaster, 12 months) — £3,600. A power-factor penalty was applied to a corrected meter.
Recoverable overcharges identified across the portfolio, with the case and evidence to reclaim them. Plus £19,800 estimated ongoing annual saving from re-sized capacity.
Lower bills mean less energy burned. The same saving, expressed as carbon avoided.
CO₂e avoided each year from the reduced consumption.
Equivalent trees' worth of annual carbon uptake.
Equivalent to a year's energy for this many UK households.
