The problem

Your bill has a blind spot. It's costing you thousands.

40–50% of your bill is regulated network charges nobody has ever re-checked. Wrong tariffs, billing errors and demand spikes quietly compound — year after year, invoice after invoice.

Energy (retail) ~50–60% · competitive

The electricity itself. Negotiable, shopped by brokers, squeezed hard. Already well served — not our territory.

Network (regulated) ~40–50% · unchecked

Rent for the wires, set annually by your monopoly distributor from a public tariff menu, passed through untouched. Not negotiable — but frequently wrong, and frequently not the cheapest eligible menu item. This is our entire focus.

Leak 01

Stale tariff assignment

Distributors publish a menu of network tariffs and re-price it every July. Your site was assigned to one years ago — often by default — and nobody re-checks eligibility against how you actually use power now.

Leak 02

Demand-charge spikes

Most C&I tariffs bill your single highest 30-minute draw each month — sometimes locking it in for 12 months. One coincident equipment start can cost more than a month of actual usage.

Leak 03

Plain billing errors

Wrong tariff codes, missed July rate updates, wrong demand reads, power-factor penalties. Nobody re-derives the bill from raw interval data — so errors persist for years.

What we do

Every bill, every site, re-calculated from your meter data.

We rebuild what your charges should be from your half-hourly meter data — then compare to what you were billed. Continuously.

Layer 1 · Monthly

Assure

Billed vs. should-have-been-billed, checked line by line every month.

  • Misapplied tariff codes & rates
  • Missed July price updates
  • Wrong demand reads
  • Power-factor penalties
  • Credits recovered on your behalf
Layer 2 · Annual

Optimise

Your actual usage simulated against every eligible tariff on the distributor's public menu.

  • Cheapest legal structure identified
  • Reassignment filed via your retailer
  • Re-run automatically at every July re-price

Layer 3 · Live

  • Peak events alerted within days, not on next month's bill
  • Ratchet-tariff protection (one spike can bill for a year)
  • Specific fixes: stagger, reschedule, sequence
  • No batteries, no hardware, no capex

Worked example

What a first report typically finds.

Illustrative site · refrigerated warehouse · Sydney

60,000 kWh a month. One avoidable spike. Two findings.

Current: flat "anytime" network tariff

Eligible alternative: demand tariff, same public menu
Fixed supply$120
Energy — peak window$600
Energy — off-peak$1,200
Demand — after peak fix$1,140
Network total / month$3,060
$14k/yr — tariff reassignment
$7.9k/yr — demand spike fixed, zero capex
$22k/yr — total, one mid-sized site
Illustrative rates shown to demonstrate the mechanic. Real findings are computed from your actual interval data against your distributor's current published schedule — and verified by subtraction, not estimates.

Common questions

Before you ask.

How does the data connection work?

At signup you approve a Consumer Data Right consent — the official, government-regulated way to share your meter data — plus a letter of authority. Both are digital and take under five minutes. From then on your half-hourly meter data flows to us automatically every month. You never export, request or forward anything.

What does it cost?

One flat monthly fee per meter — $79 (Monitor) or $149 (Optimise). Everything is included: the monthly analysis, credit claims, tariff switches, the lot. No percentages, no success fees, no surprises. Cancel anytime.

How do I know the numbers are real?

Everything is arithmetic on your own meter data against published price schedules — never estimates. Your monthly report shows billed vs what it should be, side by side, and every tariff re-priced on your actual usage. You can check any line against your bill.

Do you change our electricity retailer?

Only if you ask us to. The audit sometimes shows your retail rates are also above market — if so, we can assist with a retailer comparison and switch as a separate, optional step. The core audit works whoever your retailer is, and you never have to change anything to receive it.

Is our data safe?

Your meter data is commercially sensitive and we treat it that way: used solely to produce your audit, never sold or shared, deleted on request. See our Privacy Policy.

Will this disrupt our supply or equipment?

No. Everything happens on paper: analysis, credit claims and tariff paperwork filed through your retailer. Same wires, same electricity, same reliability — only the charges change.

See how much you're overpaying.

One email starts it. Your first report shows exactly what's recoverable, which tariff you should be on, and what your peaks are costing — most customers find multiples of the annual fee on page one. Cancel anytime.
