Agenda Ø Background Ø Data & Settlement Queries process Ø Dispute Process Ø Data & Settlement Queries statistics Ø What to query and where to find it Ø Conclusions Ø Questions 2
Training objectives At the end of this session you will: Ø Have an understanding of your rights with regard to raising Formal Queries and Disputes; Ø Know where to find the right data to check; Ø Be advised on how to increase the effectiveness and the efficiency of the Formal Queries process. 3
Background Ø Inefficiencies in the management of Data and Settlement Queries, were identified at the working group for Mod_38_10 held in February 2011; Ø SEMO proposed a training session to facilitate the understanding of the process; Ø Training material available to Participants has been updated. 4
Data Query – Original Training Data Verification Period 4 Working Days Data Queries need to be filed within the DVP commences immediately after the MSQs have been issued SEMO has to resolve the Data Queries within 10 working days, otherwise they effectively become Settlement Disputes SEMO Determination Period 10 Working Days Dispute Raising Period 5 Working Days Should the Participant not agree with the result of the MO, can a Settlement Dispute be raised 5

Data & Settlement Query Process Re-calculate - Verify calculation - Upheld Data Queries Re-price and Resettle - Resettle Upheld Settlement Queries 14
Data & Settlement Query Process Re-calculate - Only Data Queries can cause a Re-price; - A Re-price must be carried out within one month of the resolution of the Query; - A Re-price will only be carried out in cases of variances greater than the Settlement Recalculation Threshold (SRT). - The SRT is available on the SEMO website at http: //www. semo. com/Publications/Pages/General. Publications. aspx 15
Data & Settlement Query Process Re-calculate - Variances to Settlement items always cause a Resettlement; - The timelines of a Resettlement are dictated by the materiality of the variances: - High materiality variances > € 50, 000 must be completed within one month - Low materiality variances < € 50, 000 will be included the next timetabled Resettlement (M+4 or M+13) 16

Data & Settlement Query Process Receive Findings - The Raising Party will receive findings and all related documentation within the following timelines: within 10 working days • Data Queries within one calendar month • Settlement Queries - If timelines are not respected, the query will automatically become a Dispute 18
Data & Settlement Query Process - Right to Extend Right to grant extensions - SEMO can request additional time to resolve a Data or a Settlement Query. - This is limited to an additional 10 working days - Raising Party must give their consent to the extension - If no consent is received the query must be resolved within the original timelines. 19
Data & Settlement Query Process - Right to Dispute - Participants have the right to dispute SEMO’s findings within 5 working days of receiving the resolution; - Participants have the right to receive a resolution within the timelines of the T&SC else the Data or Settlement Query automatically becomes a Settlement Dispute; - A General Dispute can also be raised on any claims within Party in relation to any item in the T&SC provided that is within 28 days of that Party having become aware of the Disputed Event and in any event within 2 years of the Disputed Event having occurred 20

Data query – What to query and where to find it As per T&SC 6. 82 and 6. 83 SMP and Market Schedule Quantities will be recalculated in the event that the Market Operator in resolving a Data Query determines that the following data has been applied incorrectly and that the correct application would require it to change it for more than the Settlement Recalculation Threshold: Ø Commercial Offer Data or Technical Offer Data Ø Actual Availability or Dispatch Quantity* Ø Meter Data Ø Also if Market Schedule Quantity has been calculated incorrectly *Dispatch Quantities only impacts units with Non Firm Access Quantity 36
What to query and where to find it Within the Data Verification Period of Data Queries, it is important to concentrate checks on items that impact on the SMP or MSQ calculation. Here is a summary of where to find them 37
What to query and where to find it Additional items impacting SMP or MSQ needs to be checked for some Generator Units. Generators with Non-Firm Access Quantity: *This is not available in Public reports but only on the MPI for individual Participants. 38
What to query and where to find it Additional items impacting SMP or MSQ needs to be checked for some Generator Units. Generators with Energy Limits or Pump Storage: *Energy Limits should not be confused with targets that must be achieved; also Meter Generation impacts on the calculation of MSQs resulting in Energy Limits that have no impact on MSQs if lower than the Metered Generation. 39
What to query and where to find it Additional items impacting SMP or MSQ needs to be checked for some Generator Units. Predictable Price takers including Generators Under Test: Other items to check: *These are items controlled exclusively by the TSOs, therefore would normally be queried by the TSO only. 40

What to query and where to find it Longer timelines are in place for Settlement items and here is a summary of where to find them: *Items queried under a Settlement Query will not result in a Re-price even though they might impact SMP or MSQ 52

Publications. aspx Ø This training will be updated once details of new queries for Intra-Day Trading will be finalised with relevant files spec. 62
Conclusions Ø Robust data checking must happen within the correct Data Verification Period; Ø Checks should focus at first on the set of data that will impact Pricing and Scheduling; Ø Participants are not limited to their own data; any data publicly available can be subject of a Data or Settlement Query; Ø An efficient use of the Data or Settlement Query would avoid delays in finalising Market results and limit the need to refer to the Dispute process. 63
