Commercial utility bill auditing in Michigan

Michigan electricity choice and natural gas choice operate under different program rules. A business account needs a fuel-specific review of its supply and delivery arrangements.

Representative delivery utilitiesDTE Electric; Consumers Energy; other participating utilities

DTE Electric, Consumers Energy, and other participating utilities have electricity-choice programs subject to the statutory 10% cap. Queues can limit entry.

Evidence before conclusions

Follow the charge back to the record.

A useful Michigan utility audit identifies the disputed line item, the billing dates, and the contract or tariff provision that should apply. We compare the calculation with those records and distinguish a possible error from a supported recovery claim.

A recent statement can help identify questions. A full historical review needs the records for the affected periods, with corrected bills and credits kept alongside the originals.

Michigan utility audit questions

Does the electricity-choice cap apply in the same way to gas?

Do not transfer one program’s rules to the other. Electricity and gas eligibility, billing terms, and supplier arrangements require separate checks.

Can you review past utility overpayments?

Our agreed historical review can cover up to 36 months of available records. A recoverable period depends on the account, applicable rules, contract, deadlines, and evidence. One questionable charge is not automatically a three-year refund.

What happens after I upload a bill?

The upload provides an AI-assisted preliminary screening for our team. People review the findings and follow up about records and scope. Recovery work requires a signed agreement and letter of authorization.
