Capacity Charge Reconciliation

It has been requested that the MSS provide education and determine if it a change is needed to allow a capacity reconciliation process.  Three main factors lead to final Capacity Charges levied on LSEs to not reflect proper market charges. They are in no particular order: (1) Submitting PLC to eRPM 48 hours ahead of actual operating day does not capture immediate customer choice changes (i.e. a customer or supplier immediately drop a customer – same day activity), (2) due to the complexity of assigning a customer to a supplier in retail choice states, sometimes the intent of the customer is not immediately recognized – leading to PLC values submitted under the incorrect LSE – there is no way to recognize required changes to correct for these errors and (3) Pennsylvania is developing plans to shorten the notice timeframe for customer switching where such time frames are challenged by the requirement to submit PLC data to PJM ahead of the day of operation.
