Per its Sub Hourly Settlements (SHS) Project, ISO New England adapted the settlement interval from hourly to every 5-minutes to encourage quicker responses to dispatch instructions.
The alignment of real-time dispatch instruction and pricing intervals resulted inĀ generators, load resources and external transactions to settle at 5-minutes for Real-Time Energy, Regulation, Reserve and Net Commitment-Period Compensation Charges (NCPC).Ā The transition to 5-minute settlement interval went live on March 1, 2017.
The 5-minute regulation capacity and regulation service settlementĀ went live on Dec 1, 2017.Ā At that time, ISO-NE made revisions to the MIS report descriptions, templates and sample files for the following reports (complete details can be found on theĀ MIS Report Descriptions, Templates, and SamplesĀ web page):
- SD_REGDTL: Retired, effective 12.01.2017
- SR_REGSUM: Retired, effective 12.01.2017
- SD_REGDTL5MIN: Modified, effective 12.01.2017
