To calculate the bill for the company's energy consumption, we can use the following formula:

Total cost = (energy consumption in kWh * cost per kWh) * (1 + HST)

Substituting the given values, we get:

Total cost = (3550 * 0.18) * (1 + 0.13)
Total cost = 639.90 * 1.13
Total cost = 723.688

Therefore, the bill for the company's energy consumption over two months is $723.69.

If you want to write this code in Python, it would look like this:

energy_consumption = 3550
cost_per_kwh = 0.18
HST = 0.13

total_cost = (energy_consumption * cost_per_kwh) * (1 + HST)

print("The bill for the company's energy consumption over two months is $" + str(round(total_cost, 2)))
This code will output: "The bill for the company's energy consumption over two months is $723.69"
