What Is an Automated Energy Billing System?

Multi-band electricity tariffs, tiered water pricing and every tax included - the monthly invoice is calculated automatically and the PDF is produced. An end to manual calculation errors.

Who Is It For?

  • Shopping-centre and office managers still using Excel to calculate sub-tenant electricity and water invoices
  • Accounting teams that rebuild every invoice formula from scratch when the EPDK tariff changes
  • Estate managers who want to send tenants automatic PDF invoices
  • Energy managers who want to reconcile their own measurement system against the distributor invoice
  • Operators of shopping centres, residences or industrial zones with 200+ tenants
Common Problems
The most critical energy management challenges faced in the field

Manual Calculation Errors

A tariff calculation done by hand in Excel can carry the wrong band assignment, an incorrect tax rate and a missing reactive penalty.

Late Invoice Delivery

The chain of meter reading, Excel calculation, PDF creation and e-mail delivery takes weeks; tenant satisfaction drops.

Tariff Update Complexity

EPDK updates unit prices every year, and every Excel formula has to be revised from scratch.

No Payment Tracking

Has the tenant paid? Is it past due? Overdue invoices end up managed on a list that has to be chased manually.

Automatic PDF Invoice

Each month the electricity and water invoice is calculated automatically from tenant consumption and produced as a branded PDF.

Multi-Band Tariff

A separate unit price is applied to the day, peak and night bands; TRT share, energy fund, municipal consumption tax and VAT are added automatically.

💧

Tiered Water Tariff

The water invoice is calculated automatically with the unit price changing by cubic-metre tier, plus waste-water charge and VAT.

📷

OCR Invoice Verification

Consumption and amount are read automatically from a photo of the external electricity or water invoice and compared with the measurement in the system.

💳

Payment Tracking

Pending, paid or overdue status, due date and collection summary - every tenant in one table.

📊

Cost Allocation

Common-area cost (HVAC, lifts, lighting) is allocated to tenants by floor area ratio or consumption share.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which invoice types are supported?

Electricity (multi-band, tiered) and water (tiered, waste water included) invoice types are supported. Natural gas is tracked only through external invoice entry; it is not calculated automatically.

What happens when the EPDK tariff changes?

The system administrator enters the new unit prices from the interface. All future-period calculations then use the new tariff automatically. Past invoices are not changed.

Which invoice formats does OCR support?

The CK Bogazici Elektrik and ISKI invoice formats used in Turkiye are supported. If a clear photo of the invoice is uploaded, the consumption and amount are recognised automatically.

How does the tenant receive the invoice?

Once the invoice PDF is created it can be e-mailed to the tenant automatically from the system. The tenant can also sign in with a viewer role and download their own invoices.

How does automated energy billing work?

At period end each tenant's meter reading is taken from the system automatically, consumption is split into the day, peak and night bands and multiplied by the EPDK tariff in force. The TRT share, energy fund, municipal consumption tax and VAT are then added to reach the invoice amount; a branded PDF is produced and e-mailed to the tenant. Payment status (pending, paid or overdue) is tracked on the same screen - nothing is calculated by hand in Excel. The same screen is used for invoice reconciliation: the invoice from the distribution company is placed side by side with the measured consumption, and the YEKDEM, distribution and reactive line items are shown separately. Electricity invoice analysis therefore rests on your own meter index rather than on an estimate.
