In hospitals, energy invoices go straight to accounting. And an accountant has no way to check the nine technical line items on them, there’s nothing to compare them against.
When a Slovak hospital received an ordinary monthly invoice for 56 000 euros, Enmon broke it down line by line and compared it with history. It found a hidden 34 000-euro penalty for exceeding reserved capacity. It turned out the distributor had set a wrong starting value when replacing the electricity meter.
The hospital filed a claim and the distributor admitted the error. €28,000 that never got paid. Through the standard route the invoice would have gone through, nobody had anything to compare it against.
