## Commercial utility bill auditing in Montana

Our Montana supplier-choice coverage focuses on natural gas. Montana’s general electricity
supply market is no longer open to choice, so the gas program should not be used
to describe statewide electric deregulation.

## Montana natural gas utilities and billing review

**Representative delivery utilities**NorthWestern Energy

NorthWestern Energy is the gas delivery example in our Montana guide. An eligible
account can have a competitive gas supplier while continuing to pay the local utility
for delivery. The statements and supply agreement help identify which company charged
each item.

Gas supply choice exists even though the general electricity market is no longer
open to choice.

## Put the account’s terms in context

When the supplier and delivery company bill separately, keep both invoices for the
same service period. Differences in dates, units, or subsequent adjustments can 
make a comparison misleading if only one statement is available. Historical review
follows the account records rather than a generic market price.

Evidence before conclusions

## Follow the charge back to the record.

A useful Montana 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.

## Records to prepare for your Montana bill review

 * A recent complete utility statement, including every page
 * The service address and state for each account
 * Any separate energy supplier invoices
 * Supplier agreements and renewal notices
 * Historical statements, payments, credits, and rebills
 * Meter or interval data when relevant to the questioned charge

Keep multiple locations organized by account. We define the full scope with you 
before recovery work begins. See [our process and standard recovery pricing](https://rebateenergy.com/how-it-works-and-pricing/)
for the engagement steps.

## Montana utility audit questions

Does a gas supplier change replace NorthWestern’s delivery system?

No. Gas supply choice does not change the local transmission and distribution company.
We examine the supplier and delivery records as separate parts of the account.

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.

Utility examples are representative; supplier participation and program conditions
can change. Utility names do not imply an affiliation or endorsement. California
is outside our service area.
