Water Case Study
The client had taken on a new site and simply continued with the existing water retailer. The inherited contract had never been compared against the market.
We checked the SPID, usage history, wastewater assumptions and retailer terms. The account had avoidable charges and a better-fit retailer option for that profile.
We moved the site to a better-fit retailer and added the meter to the client portfolio register so future renewals and billing checks would not be missed.
