1.  Purpose of Document

The purpose of this document is to capture the requirements and design specification for a SaMC Charge Code in one document.[1]

2.  Introduction

2.1  Background

The CAISO’s payment acceleration program significantly shortened the time period in which the CAISO invoices and settles market transactions. Under payment acceleration, the timeframe for the CAISO’s release of its Initial Settlement Statement for each Trading Day and the payment timeline are reduced, which shortens the average cash clearing schedule from approximately 80 to 25 calendar days. The shorter cash clearing schedule reduces the amount of outstanding market charges and payments, and exposes Market Participants to less credit risk.

FERC Order No. 741 given last October 2010, required CAISO to further shorten the cash clearing schedule within 14 days. This FERC Order shall be implemented by CAISO under the Credit Reform initiative. Effective October 1, 2011, CAISO will replace the semi-monthly invoicing with weekly invoicing and will also publish Initial Statement at T+3B.

Since the implementation of payment acceleration in November 2009, the California ISO and market participants have identified opportunities for improvement to the timing between statement publications, meter data submittal and settlement dispute resolution process. The timeline change shall be covered under the initiative Settlements Process Timeline Changes (SPTC). The timing of statement publications shall be adjusted without compromising the fundamental concepts behind the payment acceleration timeline implemented November 1, 2009 as well as the FERC Order 741 requirement that is to be implemented October 1, 2011.

The application of interest ensures that the time value of money is properly accounted for when Market Participants initially are overcharged or undercharged due to estimated Meter Data, updates to SQMD Meter Data, and price adjustments on Invoices generated weekly at T+3B. The interest provision is also intended to eliminate financial incentive to submit unreasonable estimates of Meter Data for the Initial Settlement Statement T+3B.

2.2  Description

Interest will be charged or paid to Market Participants receiving Invoice or Payment Advice through Charge Codes (7989 and 7999) in the CAISO Settlements system.

There are three variables used to calculate the interest applicable to the deviations:

·  FERC annual rate of interest

·  Number of interest days; and

·  The amount of each deviation.

Because invoicing occurs weekly and the days of a month can be included in six different weeks, Initial Statement invoices are designated by up to six different weekly invoices sequenced as follows: Invoice1, Invoice2, Invoice3, Invoice4, Invoice5, and Invoice6. The first day of each Trading Month will always be designated as part of Invoice1. The last Trading Day of the month and the monthly charge codes for that same Trade Month are always bundled together. Invoice5, and/or Invoice6 may not be needed if the last Trade Date of the month is already included in an earlier invoice number sequence. Six bill determinants are required to record total amounts for the six weekly Initial Settlement Statements T+3B.

With Credit Reform and SPTC, there will be eight Recalculation statements:

a)  at T+12B

b)  at T+ 55B

c)  at T+9M – this is optional

d)  an unscheduled Recalculation statement after T+9M but before T+18M – this is optional

e)  at T+18M – this is optional

f)  an unscheduled Recalculation statement after T+18M but before T+35M – this is optional

g)  at T+35M – this is optional

h)  at T+36M – this is optional

Eight bill determinants will be needed to identify the true up amount between T+3B and T+12B, between T+12B and T+55B, and so on.

Interest charged or paid will be calculated back to the due date of the initial Invoices; therefore, bill determinants are required to determine the number of days of interest between these due dates.

In order to account for potentially different interest rates per calendar quarter, the number of interest days between the due dates might need to be split into different calendar quarters depending on the calendar quarters spanned by the due dates.

If the due dates between the Invoice containing Initial Settlement Statements T+3B and any of the succeeding Recalculation Settlement Statements span calendar quarters, then interest is compounded quarterly. Since the due dates between an initial Invoice containing Initial Settlement Statements T+3B and Rerun Settlement Statement T+36M can span several calendar quarters, 15 bill determinants are defined to record the applicable FERC interest rate for each of those quarters.

Finally, if the interest calculated results in a payment to a Scheduling Coordinator, CRR Holder, Black Start Generator or Participating TO, the Charge Code to be used is 7989. If the interest calculated results in payment to the CAISO by the Scheduling Coordinator, CRR Holder, Black Start Generator or Participating TO, the Charge Code to be used is 7999.

3.  Charge Code Requirements

3.1  Business Rules

Bus Req ID / Business Rule /
1.0 / Invoice deviation interest distribution or allocation is provided by Market Clearing to Settlements.
1.1 / If the invoice deviation interest calculated results in a payment to a Scheduling Coordinator, CRR Holder, Black Start Generator or Participating TO, the charge code to be used shall be CC 7989.
1.2 / If the invoice deviation interest calculated results in a payment to a Scheduling Coordinator, CRR Holder, Black Start Generator or Participating TO, the charge code to be used shall be CC 7999.
2.0 / A business requirement exists that invoice deviation interest distribution or allocation appears on the first available initial Invoice.
2.1 / The invoice deviation interest shall have a settlement trading day corresponding to the nearest Sunday following the publication date of the calendar date on which the ISO issued the market invoice that includes the recalculation settlement statements that triggered assessment of deviation interest.
For example,a market invoicepublishing on Wednesday, May 02, 2012November 16, 2011, contains the T+3B billing period for trading days 4/23-4/29/201211/7-11/13/11 and the T+12B billing period for trading days 4/09-4/15/201210/24-10/30/2011. The deviation interest, which is based upon the settlement difference between the T+3B and for T+12B statements for trading days 4/09-4/15/201210/24-10/30/11, will be reflected on the T+3B initial statement for trading day 5/06/2012, which is the nearest Sunday following the invoice publication date11/16/11. The 5/06/201211/16/2011 T+3B initial statement is subsequently published on (calendar date) Wednesday, May 09, 2012Monday, November 21, 2011 and invoiced on Wednesday, May 09, 2012November 23, 2011.
3.0 / Settlements receives from Market Clearing supporting data which is provided to the Market Participants for validation purposes.
4.0 / FERC published annual interest rate may change on a quarterly basis.
5.0 / ‘From Date’ is defined as the due date for initial Invoice or beginning of quarter date.
5.1 / ‘From Date Type’ is defined as a set of enumerations that indicate what type the ‘From Date’ represents and the set of values are: ‘Invoice1_Due_Date’, ‘Invoice2_Due_Date’, ‘Invoice3_Due_Date’, ‘Invoice4_Due_Date’, ‘Invoice5_Due_Date’, ‘Invoice6_Due_Date’, ‘BOQ1_Date’, ‘BOQ2_Date’, ‘BOQ3_Date’, ‘BOQ4_Date’, ‘BOQ5_Date’, ‘BOQ6_Date’, ‘BOQ7_Date’, ‘BOQ8_Date’, ‘BOQ9_Date’, ‘BOQ10_Date’, ‘BOQ11_Date’, ‘BOQ12_Date’, ‘BOQ13_Date’, ‘BOQ14_Date’ and ‘BOQ15_Date’.
6.0 / ‘To Date’ is defined as the due date of true up adjustment Invoice or end of quarter date.
6.1 / ‘To Date Type’ is defined as a set of enumerations that indicate what type the ‘To Date’ represents and the set of values are: ‘TrueUp1_Due_Date’, ‘TrueUp2_Due_Date’, ‘TrueUp3_Due_Date’, ‘TrueUp3a_Due_Date’, ‘TrueUp4_Due_Date’, ‘TrueUp4a_Due_Date’, ‘TrueUp5_Due_Date’, ‘TrueUp6_Due_Date’, ‘EOQ1_Date’, ‘EOQ2_Date’, ‘EOQ3_Date’, ‘EOQ4_Date’, ‘EOQ5_Date’, ‘EOQ6_Date’, ‘EOQ7_Date’, ‘EOQ8_Date’, ‘EOQ9_Date’, ‘EOQ10_Date’, ‘EOQ11_Date’, ‘EOQ12_Date’, ‘EOQ13_Date’, ‘EOQ14_Date’ and ‘EOQ15_Date’.
