Construction Case Study: Con Ed Bill Dispute
Challenge:
Our client completed construction on a building with two retail spaces during the Covid Pandemic. In 2023 ConEd sent them a bill for estimated electrical consumption for the time period of 2017 to 2021, claiming that the building was using a significant amount of unmetered electricity (despite the spaces being vacant the majority of the time due to the pandemic). Between the two retail spaces, the bill amounted to over $350,000.
Solution:
After putting together a timeline with backup documentation and proof, we wrote a dispute letter on behalf of the Client and submitted it to a contact at ConEd’s Customer Service. A few months later we received a notice that ConEd, based on the information we provided, would be reducing the total amount due by nearly $140,000.
