- Check charges caused by differences between the amount of electricity expected and the amount used, and develop ways to report and forecast them
- Check industry charges for accuracy and maintain an up-to-date view of the related costs and income
- Monitor costs linked to the energy regulator, Ofgem, and report how the income collected compares with those costs over time
- Check a range of charges for accuracy and raise any errors or unexpected differences with the appropriate people
- Check older charges and charges for collecting meter data, separating costs according to whether the customer or Evolve Energy appointed the service provider
- Review five-year forecasts for the additional costs of supplying electricity, using information from several sources and modelling lower, expected and higher-cost scenarios
- Identify ways to improve systems and automate tasks so these additional costs can be checked and compared more efficiently
- Create and monitor key performance measures for the additional costs included in customer prices, using the company’s internal data and reporting tools
- Prepare accurate forecasts for the future cost of buying electricity and the additional costs of supplying it, highlighting the main risks and changes
- Support projects across the business and provide analysis when needed
