Bill explainer
What are the parts of a commercial energy bill?
A bill mixes supply identifiers, measured use, contracted rates and other charges. Work through those layers before deciding whether a total looks right.
Look for: MPAN for electricity or MPRN for gas
Why it matters: This links the invoice to the supply point. A physical meter can change while the supply identifier remains.
Before comparing bills
- Use the same billing period.
- Separate electricity and gas.
- Match each invoice to its MPAN or MPRN and site.
- Mark actual and estimated readings.
- Keep contract schedules beside the invoice.
