Reconciliation manager
Ensuring that industry participants (electricity generators or buyers) are allocated their correct share of electricity generation or consumption is a key role in operating an efficient market.
This allocation is performed by the reconciliation manager, who receives and processes large quantities of metering data on a monthly basis, reconciles it against a register of contracts, and passes the data on to industry participants.
Electricity is constantly transported over the national grid, but the sources of generation change many times over the course of a day. The reconciliation process involves detailed analysis to process and correct data for inaccuracies.
The reconciliation manager also processes the information for the clearing manager, who uses this information to credit generators for electricity generated, and to invoice electricity purchasers NZX is contracted as reconciliation manager.
