"CARRIED" Robert G. Lake, General Manager, Peterborough Utilities Commission, advising of a provision of service for billing and settlement with IMO. He advises that as deregulation is implemented, our local distribution company (wires company), will be required to perform the billing function for all energy suppliers operating from within our municipality. Most utilities today do not have the hardware and software required to perform the billing function for multiple vendors with multiple rate structures. Also, in addition, our local distribution company will be required to perform a settlement function with the Independent Market Operator. This requires calculating the load curve for all customers in the municipality to calculate their bill, based on the rates of the energy supplier, or for customers who have not chosen a specific supplier, applying the hourly spot market prices to their load curve. He expects at this point, no utility has software for a settlement system, as the rules are not fully developed. He advises that in Peterborough they have just installed new hardware and software in their Civic Data Centre (CDC). The CDC performs all of the computer services for the City and the PUC. One oftheir largest systems is their Utility Management System, which will handle multiple vendors and multiple rates. The software is working now in deregulated gas, and deregulated electric utilities. They do not yet have a settlement system but will be choosing one in the next few months.
