Californa CCAs, Marin Clean Energy, and CleanPowerSF, Select Power Settlements for their CAISO Settlements, Reporting, & Bilateral Settlement Automation
Glendora, California – Power Settlements, a leading software solution provider of cloud-hosted software for managing market participation and settlements in ISO/RTO markets, announces that two Community Choice Aggregators, Marin Clean Energy (MCE) and Clean Power San Francisco (CleanPowerSF), have selected Power Settlements for providing CAISO Settlements, Contract Billing, and Reporting software.
Both MCE and CleanPowerSF are part of the Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program in California. CCAs have specific requirements to help with their participation with CAISO to be more efficient. Power Settlements’ platform PowerCore, is uniquely suited for meeting these requirements.
First, PowerCore interfaces with CAISO to bring in all the available data. This allows CCAs to have a single source for their data and participation with CAISO.
Second, the PowerCore supports all settlement-related charges and will also help to provide all the supporting data in case there is a dispute with the ISO.
Third, PowerCoreprovides a calculation engine that allows CCAs to support any complex bilateral counterparty PPAs, or other contracts that need to be settled.
Lastly, PowerCore supports a full reporting engine to customers (inclusive of API integration, database access, and file extraction to Excel CSV) to enable users to easily extract the data from PowerCore and develop customer-specific reports, invoices, graphs, and tables.
“The Power Settlements PowerCore system provides an excellent solution to meet the needs of CCAs that is not only economical but also provides the best customer support including our daily processing. No other company is as focused on CAISO as Power Settlements or can match our level of support and expertise on the CAISO market”, said David Dan, Founder and President of Power Settlements.
