The purpose of this problem statement is to review the eMTR and InSchedule data submittal deadlines to determine if changes to the existing data upload deadlines or other methods to upload revised meter data in the Primary Settlement could be implemented. Stakeholders have indicated that this would allow for more actual, validated data to be used in data upload processes associated with InSchedule and eMTR. Currently, PJM business rules require that eMTR and InSchedule values be uploaded generally one business day after the operating day (Operating Day +1 or OD+1). These deadlines were established at a time when there was reduced customer shopping and fewer interval meters utilized by retail customers. Today, there is a marked increase in the number of interval meters employed and retail shopping is vibrant. EDC settlements systems are crunching more data at the same time the time requirements to validate customer and interval meter data have increased. This has led to a scenario whereby EDCs are having to estimate more data in order to meet OD+1 deadlines. Due to the market becoming ever more complex, there is less time to allow for actual data to be validated and used.
