65-407 C.M.R. ch. 321, § 6 - MONTHLY SETTLEMENT OF COMPETITIVE ELECTRICITY PROVIDER ENERGY USE

A. Recalculation of Competitive Electricity Provider Hourly Loads. After each calendar month, transmission and distribution utilities shall re-estimate the hourly load responsibilities for each competitive electricity provider, to reflect monthly energy use most recently metered for billing purposes. The re-estimate shall be done in a manner that duplicates the hourly load responsibilities calculated pursuant to Section 5 in all respects except that customers' estimated daily energy use used in each day's calculations shall reflect the most recent meter reading done for billing purposes.

B. Calculation of Hourly Load or Monthly Energy Differences.

1. After each calendar month, the transmission and distribution utility shall be capable of calculating two energy difference estimates for each competitive electricity provider:

a. the hourly load differences between hourly loads estimated pursuant to Section 6.A and hourly loads estimated pursuant to Section 5; and

b. the monthly energy differences, equal to the sum of the hourly load differences within the month calculated pursuant to Section 6.B.1. a.

2. The calculations described in Section 6.B.1 shall be used to adjust the financial settlement associated with each competitive electricity provider's regional load obligation and generation delivery. The bulk power system administrator will determine whether hourly load data or monthly energy data will be used for this purpose.

a. Each transmission and distribution utility located in the ISO-NE control area shall report the hourly load data or monthly energy data of each competitive electricity provider operating in its territory to ISO-NE in conformance with ISO-NE requirements as they may be changed from time to time.

b. Each transmission and distribution utility located in the Maritimes control area shall report the hourly load data or monthly energy data of each competitive electricity provider operating in its territory to the Northern Maine ISA in conformance with Northern Maine ISA requirements as they may be changed from time to time.

c. All load data reported to the ISO-NE and Northern Maine ISA pursuant to this paragraph shall be differentiated by Load Asset I.D. Number or other unique identifying number used by the ISO-NE or Northern Maine ISA.
