Your plants run on power bills that were written not to be read.
Industrial sites carry some of the highest, most complex electric bills in the country — ratchet demand, power-factor penalties, and interruptible riders that hide five- and six-figure errors. Clear Current audits every one, at every plant.

What Clear Current does for manufacturing & industrial.
The parts of the platform that move the needle for your operation — each one recomputed from your tariffs and metered data, and provable line by line.
Watch the ratchet trap one summer peak.
One July spike sets a demand floor that keeps billing for eleven more months. We chart it, price it, and flag the recoverable overcharge.
Where manufacturing & industrial operations break down.
Demand and power-factor charges are increasingly dictating your spend.
On an industrial account, energy can be the smallest line. Billed demand, ratchet clauses that lock in a summer peak for twelve months, and reactive-power (kVAR) penalties are increasingly meaningful and complex — and where the errors and opportunities hide. Clear Current recalculates each of these charges from your tariff and metered determinants, and flags any issues, and develops a strategy and supporting tactics for how to handle them.
Multi-plant portfolios, multi-utility chaos
A manufacturer with a dozen facilities can face a dozen utilities, each with its own rate class, ratchet, and rider structure. Nobody reconciles them against the contract every month. Clear Current normalizes every plant into one portfolio view and audits each bill against the specific tariff it should have been billed on.
The wrong rate class quietly compounds
Load profiles change as lines are added or idled, but the rate class on the account rarely follows. A plant billed on the wrong schedule — or missing an available industrial or interruptible tariff — can overpay for years. Clear Current surfaces alternative-tariff and rate-class opportunities alongside the straight billing errors.
“If your highest peak during the summer is 1,000 kW, your minimum demand charge for the next 11 months is 75% of that — so 750 kW, even if you only use 500.”
