Demand charges bill your highest 15-minute peak (in kW), funding grid capacity. Shift loads to off-peak hours (e.g., evenings) or install sub-meters to monitor. Efficiency upgrades like variable-speed motors cut peaks by 15-25%; explore demand response programs for credits during ERCOT highs.
Contact your provider immediately for a reread or correction—PUC rules require responses within 10 days. Common errors include wrong meter reads or unapplied credits. Document everything; if unresolved, file a free PUC complaint. Regular audits prevent recurrence, potentially saving 5-15% annually.
Hidden fees like demand charges (based on peak usage), transmission surcharges, and minimum usage penalties can add 20-40% to your bill. Demand charges alone often surprise businesses with high-load operations—review your kWh vs. kW breakdown to spot them. A quick audit can reveal overcharges; start by comparing your rate to ERCOT averages for savings.
