What if we do not receive a monthly bill but a bill that is less frequent?

Publication: the 25/10/2019

No monthly bills: this is the case with some electricity or gas rates, depending on the contract in place. To compete, the candidate should ideally be able to produce a monthly value based on:

  • the bill,
  • direct reporting or remote reporting (confirmed by a subsequent bill),
  • An estimate. In this case, the quarterly or half-yearly bill that arrives to confirm the actual consumption will permit the values entered for the previous month to be corrected. This will result, and it’s part of the game, in “jumps in ranking” following these corrections, linked to non-monthly bills.

In the case of a quarterly gas bill (based on an actual meter reading and not on a fixed price or an estimate), consumption may be mensualised by the CUBE2020 technical team in proportion to DJU or pro rata temporis, according to the nature of the consumption and its climatic sensitivity.

With the calculation method chosen, you build your score by by combining your monthly results into a constant dividend. This makes it easier to appreciate the overall trajectory and by extrapolation…your point of arrival at the end of the year!
