How to help your school get accurate energy bills

Here are some simple but effective steps your school can take to ensure costs stay as accurate as possible:

• Access your Energy Manager Live (SystemsLink) account
  Every service has login details. If you don’t know yours—or would like training—please get in touch. You can find explainer videos for each energy option here.
• Check that all meters for your sites are listed and billed correctly
  Missing meters and incorrect billing setups are common causes of problems.
• Submit monthly meter readings
  Quarterly works too if monthly is difficult. If readings are uploaded in time, suppliers will usually use them for your billing cycle providing greater accuracy for budgeting.
• Talk to the Energy Team
  If something doesn’t look right, if you’ve spotted unusual usage, or if you’re unsure how to interpret a bill, please reach out to the Energy Team. We’re here to help. Email: utilitymanagement@cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk
• Review which sites you’re being billed for
  • Are you being billed for sites you no longer occupy?
  • Are there sites missing that you should be billed for?
• Make sure you know where your meters are located
  If you’re unsure, or can’t access them, the Energy Team can help you find solutions.
