0884

Under UNC TPD, M, 5.9.4, Shippers have 25 Supply Point Systems Business Days (SPSBD) after the read date to submit a read for settlement. Where there's an issue preventing the read from being validated, and that issue is not resolvable within the 25 SPSBD timeframe, the read becomes unusable. This is problematic for meter reads that are hard to retrieve. This Modification seeks to extend the window beyond 25 SPSBDs.

0884A (Withdrawn)

Under UNC TPD, M, 5.9.4, Shippers have 25 Supply Point Systems Business Days (SPSBD) after the read date to submit a read for settlement. Where there's an issue preventing the read from being validated, and that issue is not resolvable within the 25 Supply Point Systems Business Days timeframe, the read becomes unusable. This Modification seeks to extend the existing window from 25 to 45 Supply Point Systems Business Days thus enabling more reads to be usable.
