Back office settlement precision for complex power and fuels

PCI’s back office suite consolidates settlements, meter data management, billing, and audit workflows into a single system. It gives teams the accuracy, traceability, and automation they need to validate data, resolve discrepancies, accelerate month‑end close, and maintain clean, compliant records across power and fuels.

Back Office

Back office settlement certainty at enterprise scale

Unify ISO/RTO statements, bilaterals, transmission, and meter data in one ETRM to surface discrepancies, shadow‑settle, and close on time.

Accurate Settlements

Shadow‑settle ISO/RTO statements and JDA charges to flag discrepancies early and resolve underpayments before they become disputes
Validate meter data and invoices with dashboards, drilldowns, and automated checks that surface questionable or missing values
Replace spreadsheets with one platform spanning power and fuels to reduce manual error across the lifecycle

Faster Close

Automate trade‑to‑settlement workflows—from statement ingestion through reconciliation—to shorten month‑end cycles
Support recalculation, rebills, and prior‑period adjustments without reopening closed months, keeping close on schedule
Deliver consistent monthly reporting via standardized outputs and automatically updated datasets

Recover Value

Use shadow settlements and evidence‑ready reports to initiate disputes and recover misapplied ISO/RTO charges
Validate bilateral and transmission invoices with configurable checks and comparisons to eliminate leakages
Detect and correct sub‑hourly settlement issues at scale with structured workflows built for high‑volume data

Client Testimonial

“Without PCI, WEIS would've continued to bill us incorrectly, and we got our money back — over a million dollars. That alone paid for the project.”

A complete back office suite

PCI brings together the settlement, billing, and data‑management tools back‑office teams depend on every day into a single system.

ISO/RTO Settlements

Ingest market statements, calculate settlement charges, and compare ISO results to internal expectations using structured screens and drilldowns built for large data volumes.

Bilateral Settlement Processing

Support day‑to‑day bilateral activity with configurable validations, comparison views, and checkout workflows that ensure both sides of the trade align before invoicing.

Transmission Billing Management

Import, validate, and review transmission provider invoices with flexible rate handling, discrepancy drilldowns, and structured workflows that simplify monthly billing processes.

Meter Data Validation

Centralize meter data from multiple sources, validate it at granular intervals, and correct values using purpose‑built tools designed to support accurate settlements and billing.

JDA and Complex Settlement Support

Manage multi‑party agreements with workflows for settlement input files, validation screens, and comparison analyses that reconcile partner activity across high‑volume intervals.

Rebilling and Prior‑Period Adjustments

Handle recalculations and corrections through versioned workflows that support incremental adjustments without re‑opening closed months, ensuring clean accounting records.

By the Numbers

$1.2 million recovered

Guzman Energy identified a billing error and recovered over $1.2M using PCI’s shadow settlement and validation tools.

Simplifying settlements, expanding partnership

"We've been able to file disputes with our ISOs and get some money back because we're able to see more data quickly. We've saved a ton of time, probably a couple of days' worth each week going through, looking at PCI data, and validating that way."

- Sara Quintana, Middle Office Manager, Guzman Energy

More time for analysis

"We're able to do our jobs faster and easier, and it just gives us time to focus on analyzing the data, instead of preparing data."

- Brad Lafler, Market Optimization Lead, Lincoln Electric System

Unified platform and team

"I think the fact that multiple departments can use the same tool, it kind of helps bring all of us together speaking the same language."

- John Mayhew, Senior Real Time Trader, PNM

Trust through transparency

"I see our PCI relationship more like a peer or a teammate than just a provider or supplier."

- Juan Guichard, CEO, Ammper Energia

Integrated suite of tools

"Having one vendor where all of those different tools and solutions work with each other, it just made sense for us instead of having a vendor to do this and a vendor to do that."

- Jason Smith, Senior Engineer, Santee Cooper

Rapid ROI realized

"PCI's integrated solutions have delivered significant cost savings and efficiency gains for Santee Cooper. Their tools and support have been invaluable to our business."

- Chris Moore, Business Analyst, Santee Cooper

Tailored software solutions

"If PCI isn't able to find a solution directly in their products, we work with them in several different capacities to come up with customizable solutions in their product. And those have worked very well, even through upgrades in their system."

- Tucker Smith, Sr. Market Coordinator, Basin Electric

Collaboration built on trust

"The bottom line is it’s an enterprise solution... everything comes together as one, so that it’s a much easier, supportable process as well as tool set. It has definitely saved us time... PCI delivers so that we can keep moving forward."

- Maureen Kempton, Sr. Manager, Salt River Project
