AI-driven audit on every utility invoice you receive
Every commercial or industrial utility bill encodes dozens of calculations: energy charge, demand charge, fuel-adjustment rider, power-factor penalty, capacity charge, transmission pass-through, taxes, and regulatory levies. Even experienced energy managers routinely miss tariff misapplications, meter-multiplier errors, and duplicate charges buried inside these invoices. The billing fundamentals primer walks through what each line item means.
EC.Bills ingests bills (PDF, XML EDI, or utility API feed), parses every line item, recomputes the charges against the tariff on file, and flags anomalies — both obvious (a 3× spike in demand charge) and subtle (a slow drift in power-factor penalty as capacitor banks age, often correlated with degrading power quality).
Because the parsed data flows into the same warehouse as EC.EMS telemetry, you can instantly cross-check utility-billed demand against your own interval data, confirm the billed kWh matches the metered kWh within reasonable tolerance, and identify the exact 15-minute interval that triggered a new demand ratchet.
