SAMPLE
Independent settlement verification
Settlement attestation
for [Asset A], [N] MW
Summary
[Summary.] This section will state the result of the review. Its wording, and the legal form of an Alektra attestation, are not decided yet; this sample shows the layout only.
- Intervals checked
- [N]
- Billed
- [$ X]
- Recomputed
- [$ Y]
- Net variance
- [$ Δ]
Scope
The charge types in scope for the beta, billed to [Asset A] for [Month Year]: real-time energy and ancillary services. Real-time prices are set for each five-minute interval and settled per fifteen-minute settlement interval.
Method
Each charge is recomputed from ERCOT market data and asset telemetry using the published settlement rules, then compared line by line with the settlement statement. Differences above a materiality threshold of [$ X] are reported as exceptions and traced to their source input.
Findings
| ID | Interval | Charge type | Billed | Recomputed | Variance | Cause | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [ID] | [Day HH:MM] | Real-time energy | [$ X] | [$ Y] | [$ Δ] | Discharge settled at a superseded settlement point price. | Open |
| [ID] | [Day HH:MM] | ECRS | [$ X] | [$ Y] | [$ Δ] | Award settled against a superseded ancillary service schedule. | Open |
| [ID] | [Day HH:MM] | Real-time energy | [$ X] | [$ Y] | [$ Δ] | Telemetry gap. Interval disclosed and excluded. | Note |
Data sources
| Input | Source | File | SHA-256 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Settlement statements | ERCOT | [file] | [SHA-256] |
| SCED base points | ERCOT | [file] | [SHA-256] |
| Settlement point prices | ERCOT | [file] | [SHA-256] |
| Asset telemetry | Asset owner | [file] | [SHA-256] |
Every input is fingerprinted. Recomputing from the same files reproduces the same result.
Limitations
This sample covers settlement amounts only and relies on the completeness of the telemetry provided by the asset owner. It is not an audit of financial statements and does not assess dispatch strategy. Exact real-time energy needs settlement-grade meter data; from public telemetry it is an approximation.
