Energy Management

Maintain control with monitoring, metering and energy bill validation

As the price of wholesale power increases, Choice Energy is vigilant about keeping your operations energy efficient. By helping you use less, we’re your assurance against future energy price hikes.

We’ll secure you the best energy deal. Then we’ll make sure your new energy-savings contract is in place, and that the transition is seamless. From there, we’ll keep you proactively engaged in cost reduction strategies.

Energy bill validation

As part of our end-to-end energy management service, we offer SHIELD metering. Metering offers important monitoring and reporting tools to help mitigate your risk exposure to large market energy costs. Energy bill validation is one part of this.

Bill validation puts checks and balances on each component of your energy invoices. By modelling the appropriate charges based on your actual usage and demand, we will validate the costs. This reconciliation process will identify any energy bill errors or anomalies. Both undercharging and overcharging can be detrimental to your budget forecasts and planning.

If we find an error, we’ll act on your behalf with the retailer to correct it.

Energy metering

You’re charged a default metering charge by your energy retailer with no added value. SHIELD metering replaces this, and at the same time provides you with valuable energy management tools such as real-time access to consumption interval data.
