Business energy bill validation
What is energy bill validation?
Energy bill validation is the process of carefully reviewing and verifying your business energy bills to ensure accuracy, identify errors, avoid overpayments, and ultimately ensure that you only pay for the energy you have used.
- Analysis of historic and current utility bills
- Investigation and resolution of inconsistencies
- Settlement of ongoing disputes with suppliers
- Assurance and application of financial control to your utilities spend
