Case Study: Leading Retail Electricity Center achieves $3M refund and $250K/year ongoing savings with WatchWire

EnergyWatch Obtains $3MM Electricity Refund

Leading Retail Electricity Center was paying noticeably higher electricity costs than comparable facilities and sought to reduce expenses through deregulated energy purchasing, but market quotes remained unusually high. WatchWire was engaged to audit the account, investigate billing and metering, and evaluate opportunities for cost recovery and future savings.

WatchWire identified and validated a long‑term metering error with the local Utility, then negotiated on the customer’s behalf to recover incorrectly billed demand charges. As a result, the Leading Retail Electricity Center received a $3 million retroactive refund and corrected future billing, producing an ongoing savings of about $250,000 per year.
