Government Utility Audits
Government utility audit services are essential for facilities, which are among the highest energy consumers due to their round-the-clock operations. Managing utility bills for government agencies can be complex and time-consuming.
Partnering with a dedicated government utility audit provider like UtiliSave helps you uncover cost-reduction opportunities and better manage your budgets. UtiliSave has been conducting government utility audits since 1991, delivering industry-leading services and substantial savings to agencies nationwide.
The Federal Mandate for Audits
For most federal agencies, conducting a utility audit isn’t just a best practice—it’s a legal requirement. Under the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA), Section 432, the U.S. Department of Energy mandates that federal agencies conduct comprehensive energy and water evaluations on 25% of their “covered facilities” every year. According to the Department of Energy’s Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP), this ensures every covered facility is audited at least once every four years. UtiliSave helps your agency meet and exceed these Department of Energy requirements while recovering thousands in overpayments uncovered during the audit process.
Why Government Utility Audit Matters
Utility audits for government entities are valuable activities that provide an easier way to seamlessly manage and oversee all your accounts. Some of the advantages audits can provide include:
- Improve your bottom line: Most government organizations operate on static, pre-determined budgets. The hundreds of thousands of dollars that UtiliSave delivers back into your bottom line can be used to reinvest in other important initiatives.
- Adjusting your rate schedule: Utility auditors communicate directly with your utility provider to learn more about your current rate schedule to find plans that make more sense. They’ll compare your current plan to others to find the right option for your energy usage.
- Refining your workflow: Continuous utility audits maintain transparent oversight across your accounts to avoid unnecessary payments or outdated service subscriptions. They’ll improve your organization and identify potential growth areas to boost operational efficiency.
- Minimizing invoice errors: Errors come in all shapes and sizes, and most of the time, your team might not even realize you’re overpaying for your water, electricity or gas utilities. Auditors can identify clerical mistakes, meter readings or bill calculation errors to provide refunds or bill credits from your utility company.
