  • Customer now receiving the financial benefits and were able to recover the overpayments from the previous year

Customer Says

PDA helped us to analyse our inventory and correct legacy issues that had not been picked up by our previous provider or the Distribution Business. Rather than just accept our data ‘as is’ they helped to explain how the charge code system actually worked and ensure that the energy bills reflected the investments we had made in new technology.
