What We Do
Every Electric Bill Has Savings Locked Inside.
We’re the Only Consultants with the Key.
Electric bills, by design, are complicated. With so many numbers and abbreviations and hundreds of pages of rate codes built into each bill, one is often distracted and potential savings goes undetected.
Midwest Utility Consultants has the tools to unlock those savings. Simply put, we are rate code experts. It’s not about finding a new supplier to lower the Generation Charges. It’s about understanding those hundreds of pages of rate codes to lower the Distribution & Delivery Charges.
We’ve read all those pages and our team of rate code experts knows how to identify and implement changes in the rate code to save you money. All without changing suppliers and without reducing your energy usage.
We know rate codes, inside
and out
Using the Duke Energy tariff, Midwest Utility Consultants identifies the optimum rate code for each meter, resulting in reduced electric cost. At more than 260 pages long, this tariff is too much for most business owners to digest. We’ve read it cover to cover and can apply that expertise to save you money every single month.
More than just gas & electric
Midwest Utility Consultants is not only successful at lowering the rates on gas and electric, we can save you money on:
- Water and Sewer
- Phone and Internet
- Waste and Recycling
- Fire related items such as Alarms, Extinguishers, Sprinklers and Backflow
How We Do It
Proprietary Tools and Proven Processes
Midwest Utility Consultants will save you money on utility costs by approaching the analysis in two ways:
We analyze existing invoices to determine if your organization is on the most effective tariff and to determine potential savings from applying and removing riders, overcharges and other similar billing errors.
Rate Optimization
Utility companies have little or no incentive to recommend the lowest rates and riders to you, the customer, based on your unique situation. Our team can design and implement personalized rate structures that will reduce your energy cost.
Billing Error
Miscalculated bills are caught by our specially trained team. We will seek a refund in addition to ensuring billing is corrected going forward.
Delivery/Generation
Already under contract with an electric supplier for the generation portion of your bill? We are still able to obtain a lower rate on the delivery portion of your bill.
Hidden Charges
Utility companies often embed and encode charges. These charges are not displayed on your bill and may not apply to your company.
We work directly with each utility and gather data to review current rate structures, billing anomalies and contractual obligations.
For most companies, it’s difficult to stay on top of the most current rates, tariffs and other regulatory charges that comprise a facility’s utilities. It’s also next to impossible to know if you have the correct price structure for your organization. That’s where Midwest Utility Consultants comes in. After receiving a copy of your signed Billing and Monitoring Agreement, signed Letter of Authorization and your utility invoices, our company will perform a thorough analysis that will result in a detailed report showing where you can potentially save thousands of dollars each year on your facility’s utility expenses. This process can take up to 30 days to complete.
Data Collection
Midwest will collect utility bills from customer and request histories of usage and charges from the utility provider.
Utility Analysis
Midwest will use the data to perform an in-depth analysis for each utility, developing specific recommendations to reduce cost.
Presentation of Recommendations
Once the list of recommendations is complete, Midwest will meet with the customer to present the findings. At that point, the customer will let Midwest know which recommendations to implement.
Implement Savings
Midwest will connect with the appropriate utility providers and contractors to fully implement the options the customer has approved.
