This is a difficult question to answer definitively because there are multiple ways to categorize expenses. For example, some businesses may choose to categorize energy bills under the heading of "Utilities" while others may create a separate category for "Energy."
The most important thing is to be consistent in how you categorize expenses. This will make it easier to track and manage your finances over time. If you are unsure which category to use for energy bills, you can always ask your accountant or financial advisor for guidance.

“Accurate classification of expenses is vital for businesses as it forms the backbone of financial reporting, tax compliance, and strategic decision-making. It enables businesses to track and analyze their spending patterns, identify cost-saving opportunities, and assess the profitability of various operations or projects. Having a single source to turn to for accounting classification suggestions, such as the Ramp Expense Classifier tool, is immensely helpful as it provides consistency, reduces ambiguity, and streamlines the expense classification process.”
