Harnessing electricity, gas and water billing data to support sustainability goals is challenging. Data capture processes are time consuming and error-prone.
Identifying anomalies is difficult, and normalising energy intensities for benchmarking is onerous for businesses with large estates of energy-intensive facilities.
Utility bill analysis software saves you time by consolidating your utility bill data, automating conversions and calculations, and normalising energy performance for weather and KPI metrics.

Frequently asked questions
Why is analysing utility bill data important?
Analysing utility bill data helps individuals and businesses understand their energy consumption patterns, identify potential cost-saving opportunities, and make informed decisions to optimise energy usage and reduce expenses.
What information is typically found on a utility bill?
Utility bills usually contain key information such as billing period, meter readings (start and end), consumption in units (e.g., kilowatt-hours), rates, taxes, fees, and total amount due.
What are some common analysis techniques for utility bill data?
Common techniques include:
- Trend Analysis: Identifying consumption patterns over time.
- Benchmarking: Comparing energy usage to industry averages or previous periods.
- Load Profiling: Understanding how energy demand varies throughout the day/week.
- Anomaly Detection: Identifying unusual spikes or drops in consumption that might indicate inefficiencies or issues.
- Cost Allocation: Allocating utility costs to specific departments or areas.
How can I identify opportunities for energy efficiency through bill analysis?
By analysing usage trends, you can pinpoint high consumption periods and investigate the causes. Implementing energy-saving measures like LED lighting, HVAC optimisation, or insulation upgrades can lead to substantial savings.
Can I use historical utility bill data to predict future energy costs?
Yes, by analysing historical data and considering factors like seasonal variations and usage trends, you can make reasonably accurate predictions for future energy costs.
How can I track the success of energy-saving initiatives through bill analysis?
After implementing energy-saving measures, continue tracking utility bill data regularly. Compare post-implementation bills with historical data to measure the impact of the initiatives. Additionally, calculate Return on Investment (ROI) to assess cost-effectiveness.
Remember that utility bill analysis can yield valuable insights, leading to significant cost savings and a more sustainable approach to energy consumption.
