Utility Management
Utility management is the administration of an organisation's electricity, gas, water, and other utility accounts, including billing, contracts, and consumption tracking.
Definition
Utility management covers the administrative and operational oversight of an organisation's utility accounts — contract terms, billing accuracy, meter administration, and consumption tracking across electricity, gas, water, and sometimes waste services. It overlaps significantly with energy management but explicitly includes non-energy utilities like water.
Why It Matters
Poorly managed utility accounts — expired contracts rolling onto default rates, unreconciled bills, mismatched meter registrations — are a common and avoidable source of overspend across multi-site organisations.
