What would the informed and intelligent post? Even the Cellar has been powered via an intelligent electric meter for years. Why is that meter not causing higher electric bills?

The original complaint sounds like some programmer has programmed a math error. And his boss is so technically ignorant as permit failures to continue.

A responsible extremist would have asked for numbers from the meter itself. Nothing has changed. classicman never proposes a solution. Otherwise someone might take a cheap shot at him.

First get facts. What are numbers on that meter - taken daily? How do those numbers correspond with numbers from the bill? Not dollars. Kilowatt hours.

Depending in the meter, meter may also provide another important number - power factor. Another useful number - how many kilowatts (not kilowatt hours) are consumed (reported) at any one time? And what appliances are actually on then?

Those numbers would mean nothing to you. But are necessary so that the few who actually learned reality will reply usefully. Without cheap shots from a cave.
