Settlement Calculation and Reconciliation Errors in PPAs
Definition
Complex structured PPA contracts require extensive manual verification of settlement calculations against contractual terms, including charge types, volumes, balancing fees, taxes, and market prices. Manual processes by settlement analysts lead to errors in reconciling actual energy deliveries, pricing, and performance. These discrepancies result in unbilled services or pricing mismatches during reconciliation.
