Protecom offers a calculator to check electricity bills
The facts
Protecom offered a calculator to compare consumption-based estimates with state-distributor bills. It separates unsubsidized amounts, state support and customer payment, and compares two months. The announcement says it is available through Protecom and the electricity regulator websites.
What changes for capital
The tool helps examine consumption and subsidy effects on electricity spending.
The scenarios
If the user enters appropriate consumption and conditions, the tool may support a review. If assumptions do not match the bill, the result will not prove a billing error.
The next signal
Compare inputs, tariff period and output with the bill and Protecom’s published method.
Verification and limits
Published September 29; exact launch date unspecified. It does not automatically correct bills or replace complaints. The simulator states that additional charges are excluded; its mathematical accuracy was not audited. The scenarios are conditional editorial inferences, not verified facts or forecasts. The cited sources support the facts; the next signal proposes checks still to be made.
