New platform helps businesses validate electricity charges themselves - catching the £1.2bn in billing errors that go unnoticed every year.


Checking if your electricity bill is correct shouldn't require hiring an expensive consultant. That's why we've built EnergyCode - a platform that gives every business the tools to validate their own network charges.

The Problem: Billions in Billing Errors Go Unnoticed

Industry estimates suggest 3-4% of electricity bills contain errors. That's over £1.2 billion in recoverable overcharges annually across GB businesses. Most of these mistakes never get caught because validating electricity charges has been impossibly complex.

Until now, only large energy consultancies had the tools to check bills properly. They'd charge thousands of pounds for audits that took weeks. Smaller businesses and independent brokers were left crossing their fingers and hoping their bills were right.

What EnergyCode Actually Does

We make electricity bill validation simple. Here's what you can check:

  • DUoS charges - Are you on the right distribution tariff for your connection?
  • TNUoS charges - Are your transmission charges calculated correctly?
  • BSUoS, CfD Levy, and Capacity Market charges - Are the right rates being applied?
  • MPAN decoding - What tariff category should you actually be on?

The platform covers all 14 DNO regions across Great Britain. Whether you're in Cornwall or the Highlands, we've got your local rates and tariffs.

How It Works

You don't need to be an energy expert to use EnergyCode. Just enter your MPAN (the 21 or 22-digit number on your bill), choose your billing period, and add your consumption data. We'll tell you exactly what you should have been charged based on published industry rates.

If something doesn't match your bill, you'll see it immediately - no waiting weeks for a consultant's report.

"The data behind EnergyCode comes straight from official DNO charging statements - the same documents your supplier uses to calculate your bill."

Who's This For?

EnergyCode is designed for:

  • Energy brokers and consultants who want to offer bill validation to clients without building their own tools
  • Facilities managers at hospitals, universities, manufacturers - anyone responsible for checking electricity costs
  • Finance teams who need to verify bills before payment
  • Anyone who suspects their electricity bill might be wrong

Why Now?

Since April 2022, all DNOs have used the same charging methodology (CDCM). This standardisation makes validation possible for the first time. Before CDCM, every region had its own complex rules - comparing bills to tariffs was a nightmare.

We've also seen transmission charges (TNUoS) nearly double with the new RIIO-3 price control period starting April 2026. With network costs rising, catching billing errors matters more than ever.

Free While in Beta

EnergyCode is currently in beta and completely free to use. We're not trying to replace energy consultants - we're giving them (and everyone else) the tools to do their job better and faster.

We Want Your Feedback

This is version 1.0 and we're building in the open. If you're an energy broker, consultant, or facilities manager, we'd love to hear from you. Found something that doesn't work? Got an idea for a feature? Let us know - your feedback directly shapes what we build next.

No signup required to start validating.
