Settlement Statement Files
319 The settlement statement files and supporting data files contain settlement
amounts and the underlying data used in those calculations for a market
participant. The data included mostly pertains to a particular trading date (the
primary trade date), but it may also contain missing charges from prior trading
dates. Content, field usage, and format are detailed, in “Format Specification
for Settlement Statement Files and Data Files”, and may be found on the
Technical Interfaces page of the IESO‟s Web site.
320 Some general notes about the statement files are listed below:
Market participants will download the files through the IESO Reports web server.
The timeline for generating the preliminary and final statements for the financial and physical
markets is detailed in the “Settlement Manual”. In general terms however, their issuance is
based on a business day timeline rather than on a calendar day timeline and is specifically
governed by:
The IESO Settlement Schedule & Payment Calendar (“Market Rules” Ch. 9 Section 6.2,
“Market Manual 5: Settlements Part 5.1: Settlement Schedule and Payment Calendars
(SSPCs)”); and
Any emergency procedures that may have to be invoked by the IESO under the IESO
“Market Rules”.
The companion data files are issued following the same timeline as the Statement Files.
