- Drill down into control number schedules and individual transmission contract utilization for deeper analysis
Reliable & Secure
- Leveraging the latest technology advancements and system monitoring tools to ensure the healthiness and availability of the system
- We have maintained over a decade of annual independent cyber security auditing and are Soc II Type II compliant
Product Webinar
Using PCI transmission scheduling to automate BA operations
Take an in-depth tour of our Transmission Scheduling software with PCI Director Suiyi Su and learn how our Transmission Scheduling system creates efficiencies and improves accuracy by automating workflows.
Functionality
A comprehensive transmission system
PCI’s transmission system provides the following functionality
Manage area balance, interchange scheduling and After-the-Fact checkout.
Manage, automate and streamline the calculation and validation of generation and load meters, as well as interchange schedules in and out of defined areas. Identify potential meter errors.
Produce invoice and checkout reports for each transmission customer, shadow invoices received from other transmission providers, and integrate with any general ledger system.
Meet NRC requirements and manage all transmission outages while reporting them to one or more ISOs. Get a coordinated stream of outage event and status data from the field to the front office and ISO.
Optimize your transmission assets by leveraging real-time analytics for transmission planning to maximize utilization, minimize costs, and seize opportunities for strategic procurement.
Supporting Data
24-7 since 2017
Our transmission scheduling solution has been operating reliably and continuously twenty four hours and day, seven days a week since 2017.
The PCI Platform
Built on modern, cloud-first technology
At PCI we aim for our technology to hit the sweet spot between reliable and high performance, flexible, lightweight to maintain and easy to onboard.
Cloud-First
- Scales up quickly with no loss of performance.
- Distributed database maximizes processing capabilities
- We regularly exceed security requirements, lowering risk to your business.
Reliable
- Proven to reliably handle the demands of energy tagging at scale
- Forward e-Tag data with no latency and no lost tags wherever you need it
Quick Implementation
- Easy out of the box deployment means you complete your implementation sooner
- Painless software updates
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
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
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
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
