Case study 12 – How MyVoltage corrected a council tariff error and secured significant savings for a residential complex
A residential complex was facing difficulties in recovering enough funds to pay their council account. Suspicion arose around possible theft and tampering of utility meters, but a detailed analysis of the council account revealed that the complex had been charged an incorrect tariff.

The challenge
The complex faced mounting financial pressure due to inflated utility costs. With a council bill higher than expected, the management team suspected theft or tampering but lacked concrete evidence. A thorough investigation was necessary.

The results
By applying the correct tariff, the complex received a credit of over R800,000—a game-changer for their financial stability.
This adjustment enabled them to meet their council obligations without further strain.
