Validating payments

Each month we will send reports to service providers to allow them to validate payments as quickly and as easily as possible.

Preliminary statements and payment estimates

Both a preliminary statement of the ancillary services and a payment estimate for these services are issued by the eighth business day of the month following when the service was provided.

Preliminary statements are not produced for short term operating reserve (STOR) service.

Final statements and self-bill invoices

A final statement for each ancillary service, along with the self-bill invoices, is issued by the eighteenth business day of the month following when the service was provided.
