Owner’s Agent Utility Bill Audits for Towns & Cities in Massachusetts & Vermont

Towns and cities across Massachusetts and Vermont manage large portfolios of electric accounts. These accounts often each have their own rates and billing rules. They span schools, public safety buildings, water facilities, offices, and seasonal operations. All of which generate a steady flow of bills that must be monitored and verified. Errors happen. When they do, they cost taxpayers money. With shifting utility tariffs, and frequent billing updates, even small mistakes can compound over time, creating avoidable financial strain for local budgets.

Cities & Towns Sign Solar Deals At An Accelerating Pace – Ensuring The Best Results Will Be Key

Massachusetts cities and towns are leading the way to a cleaner future having signed multi-decade multi-million dollar deals for solar energy. These municipalities have entered these long-term agreements with the prospect of receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars worth, and in some cases millions of dollars worth, of savings over the contract life. Municipalities can offer the solar projects a long-term revenue stream while the solar projects can offer cities and towns either discounted electricity and/or stable electricity prices.

Most of these arrangements don’t simply mean a direct discount to a city’s electric bill for example but require the local electric utility to transfer credits, called net metering credits, from the solar project electric account to the city’s electric account(s). These credits offset amounts that the city would have normally had to pay their utility such as NSTAR, WMECO or National Grid. Some cities and towns are receiving these credits on close to a hundred accounts. Naturally the complexity inherent in these arrangements needs to be properly managed and administered. Suntility’s Net Metering Credit Services do exactly that by providing critical tracking, verification and management of municipal solar deals. We work directly with cities or towns and/or with proactive solar project owners to validate the entire process. Clients receive concise easy-to-read reports with actionable information to quickly review the entire process and when there are errors on accounts they are highlighted with clear resolution steps.

If you’re a city or town shouldn’t you know the results of your solar deal? Why leave the success of a multi-million dollar deal to chance? Suntility is a highly effective partner for municipalities helping them accomplish their clean energy, environmental, administrative and budgetary goals.
