We are currently aware of 34+ points that utility companies have overcharged our customers, these are often due to incorrect meter charges or rates that are not usually identified in the customer invoice. Our in-house solicitor utilises specialised software to audit our customer invoices and quite often highlights various types of billing issues.

10 10 New Meter Installations GAS CASE STUDY 3 Case Studies 3.1 Salop Design and Engineering Salop Design and Engineering requested a new gas supply to help cope with a new factory they were building, and disconnect the existing meter. A new supply capable of providing 5000kW of gas and a 16M rotary meter was required for quoting. We arranged with our partner for quotes to be arranged by infrastructure providers and worked with the chosen one closely to ensure minimal downtime of the switch over from the old to the new supply. Saved the client 6,000 on the meter alone against the original quote. Due to the works, the plant was shut down for 24 hours meaning we had one day to ensure that all works were completed, meter fitted and switched over. We managed to ensure this, and the site was completed.
