BENEFITS TO ENERGY CUSTOMERS
Customers who have started using bglobal's smartMETER solution are already taking control and managing their energy.
Accurate Energy Bills
Scheduling the retrieval of meter register reads and delivery of these actual reads in line with agreed read windows will enable customers to promptly receive accurate invoices at the end of each billing period.
Collation Billing
Group customers can have all of their sites read at the same time which will facilitate accurate collation billing.
Reduced Administration Costs and the end of Bill Validation charges
Invoices will be based on actual readings from meters to reduce time customers might spend querying invoices with their supplier. This could also bring an end to expensive bill validation charges. Some customers currently incur significant costs through bill validation services. Timely and accurate meter readings should make this unnecessary.
Improved Budgeting
Energy consumption records will now be based on actual readings; meaning that customers can improve forecasting and control of their energy budget. The costs of reconciliations are reduced because no erroneous estimated bills are levied.
Tariff Optimisation
By taking advantage of the optional Energy Management package using the Bglobal smartMETER WebAnalyser service, customers can see the energy profile of each of their sites. They can then identify whether there are opportunities for other tariff options to reduce costs.
Improve Energy Management
By using the smartMETER WebAnalyser service available with the optional Energy Management package, customers can benchmark energy consumption across their estate and identify exceptional usage patterns.
"Self Billing"
bglobal are able to provide energy data which will allow energy customers to create their own invoices. Many customers in the Half Hourly market already work in this way. The smartMETER service makes this a possibility in the Half Hourly market.
