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.

2.  Introduction

2.1  Background

The Tariff authorizes the CAISO to levy additional charges or make additional payments to Market Participants to accommodate special adjustments with regards to:

·  Amounts required to reach an accounting trial balance of zero in the course of the Settlement process in the event that the charges calculated as due from CAISO Debtors are not equal to the payments calculated as due to the CAISO Creditors for the same Trading Day.

·  Awards payable by or to the CAISO pursuant to good faith negotiations or CAISO ADR Procedures that the CAISO is not able to allocate to or to collect from a Market Participant or Market Participants in accordance with CAISO Tariff Section 13.5.3.

These charges or payments will be allocated to Scheduling Coordinators pro rata to their Measured Demand in MWh of Energy.

2.2  Description

This Charge Code is used to calculate amounts associated with the first bulleted Tariff provision indicated above. That is, amounts that are required to reach an accounting trial balance of zero in the course of the Settlement process for Charge Codes that are calculated once a month. Imbalances result when the charges calculated owing from CAISO Debtors is not equal to the payments calculated to the CAISO Creditors for the same Trading Month; that is, in cases where there is not a zero balance of cash inflows and outflows.

The Monthly Rounding Settlement Amount is calculated by summing those imbalance amounts for Charge Groups which contain monthly Charge Codes that achieve revenue neutrality for the CAISO. To the extent the net imbalance is negative, and the CAISO under-collected as a result of rounding error, the CAISO will collect these amounts from Scheduling Coordinators pro rata based on their share of the total CAISO Measured Demand. To the extent the net imbalance for the month is positive and the CAISO over-collected as a result of rounding error, the CAISO will allocate the revenues to Scheduling Coordinators on the same basis.

This charge code will be implemented pursuant to a configuration enhancement procedure that allows for gains in performance, thereby reducing the volume of calculations executed during the monthly Settlement Run. The outcome of this feature is not published on the monthly Settlements Statements issued to participants. However, this enhancement procedure has no impact on the actual calculation of the settlement amounts determined by this Charge code. The performance enhancement is achieved through the availability of a feature that makes the results of (previously calculated) daily Settlement Runs available during to the CAISO operator for the monthly run in lieu of the operator having to re-execute daily calculations within the monthly Settlement Run. Additionally, this feature will provide the CAISO operator monthly totals of (previously calculated) daily outputs as well as monthly totals of primary bill determinants as needed. The CAISO will notify participants of which Charge Code uses this feature by including this statement in the description of the affected Charge Codes. In addition, the CAISO will indicate in the applicable CAISO Formula sections which of the individual calculations within the monthly run utilize this feature. Participants can verify the Settlement Amounts resulting from this Charge Code in their monthly calculations by utilizing the daily input data as defined in the input sections of each Charge Code, the amounts and/or quantities of which are published on the relevant, daily Settlement Statements.
