Utility Bill Audit for Manufacturing Businesses

Manufacturing commits trillions to the United States Gross Domestic Product (GDP) each year, employs millions of workers, and also helps meet various national challenges. But at an average of 95.1 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per square foot per year, manufacturing facilities also use a lot of energy to make the goods and products that make the nation tick. One way to reduce this energy output and save on overhead costs is to have a utility bill audit done. In this post, we’ll discuss how it works, the value of such a service, and how Green Line Rates can help you get started.

How It Works

A utility bill audit for manufacturing businesses consists of a professional auditor carefully assessing your facility’s past and present utility bills to look for irregularities, analyze usage, and identify cost savings opportunities. The typical steps of a utility bill audit consist of:

1. An initial kick-off meeting
2. Sharing of past and present utility bills
3. A careful review and analysis of your facility’s utility usage
4. A summary of the auditor’s findings and money-saving opportunities
5. The delivery of cost savings based on the auditor’s recommendations

The results of this process can be as simple as identifying a billing irregularity and recouping any overages that you paid in the past. In other cases, we can advise on how to optimize energy usage at different parts of the day. Our utility bill audit services are often done in conjunction with energy consulting services, which we’ll get to in the next section.
