📝 Why Perform an Electricity Bill Audit?

An Electricity Bill Audit is more than just checking your total amount; it’s a technical deep-dive into how effectively your facility uses power. Many industrial and commercial users pay thousands in “Fixed Charges” and “Penalties” without realizing that these costs are avoidable.

Our auditor analyzes the relationship between your kW (Real Power) and kVA (Apparent Power). A gap between these two indicates a low Power Factor, leading to increased current flow, heated cables, and utility surcharges.

⚠️ Understanding Hidden Penalties

Utilities apply two primary technical penalties that often go unnoticed:

• Demand Penalty: If your Peak Demand (kVA) exceeds your Sanctioned Load (kW), utilities apply a penalty on the excess units—often at 200% of the normal rate.
• PF Surcharge: If your Power Factor drops below 0.90, a surcharge (usually 1% to 5% of the total bill) is added to your statement.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Should I increase my sanctioned load?
If your kVA demand exceeds the limit for more than 3 months, increasing the sanctioned load is cheaper than paying monthly penalties.

Q: How long do capacitor banks last?
High-quality capacitors last 3–5 years but should be tested every 6 months for efficiency drops.
