Bureau

Energy bill validation: every invoice checked before it is paid.

Billing errors are common, and rarely in your favour. Our energy bureau service validates every electricity and gas invoice against your contract and your meter data, challenges what is wrong and recovers what you are owed. We also manage your MOP and MAM metering contracts.

Why it pays

Most invoices are never checked. Yours will be.

Energy invoices are built from tariffs, contract terms, capacity charges, levies and meter readings, and any one of them can be wrong. Most organisations pay what arrives because nobody has the time or the data to check. The bureau exists to do that checking, every month, on your behalf.

It is the same discipline we ran inside manufacturing: the bills, the meters and the contracts in one place, reconciled line by line, with a report that says what was charged, what should have been charged, and what we are recovering.

What we do

Bill validation and metering contracts: two services that earn their fee back

01

Energy Bill Validation

Independent energy bill validation to identify billing errors, incorrect charges, meter issues and potential overpayments, helping businesses ensure they are paying for the energy they actually use. Errors are challenged with the supplier and credits chased through to your account.

  • Contract rates, standing charges and pass-through costs verified
  • Meter reads reconciled against invoiced consumption
  • Capacity, availability, levy and VAT checks
  • Disputes raised and credits tracked to settlement
  • Monthly validation report and annual summary
02

MOP & MAM Metering Contracts

Independent advice and support with Meter Operator (MOP) and Meter Asset Manager (MAM) contracts, helping businesses understand their arrangements, manage costs and ensure their metering infrastructure meets their needs.

  • Contract review, procurement and renewal
  • Meter installations, upgrades and fault resolution coordinated
  • Data collection and data flows checked
  • One point of contact for the metering supply chain
How it works

Monthly invoice validation, not a one-off audit

Bureau work only pays back if it happens every month. This is the cycle we run for each site:

  1. 01

    Collect

    Invoices and meter data come to us each month.

  2. 02

    Validate

    Every line reconciled against your contract and your meter reads.

  3. 03

    Challenge

    Anything wrong goes back to the supplier, with the evidence.

  4. 04

    Recover

    Credits tracked until they land in your account.

  5. 05

    Report

    A monthly report you can hand to finance.

How an engagement works

Three steps, no pressure.

  1. 01

    A call

    Twenty minutes on the phone to understand your sites, your contracts and where you stand on compliance.

  2. 02

    A look at your data or site

    Bills, half-hourly data and a walk round if it helps. Enough to see where the money is going.

  3. 03

    A proposal with costs and paybacks

    What we recommend, what it costs and what it returns. If a service will not pay for itself, we will say so.
