3.4.3 - Penalties for Rules of Conduct violations, as well as market adjustments for inaccurate meter data, are invoiced through the CAISO Settlement Process and will appear on the next relevant Settlement Statement. Market Participants may appeal penalties assessed by the CAISO to FERC. The CAISO holds the proceeds of penalties collected in a trust account, allocating them after the completion of the calendar year during which they were assessed to Market Participants that have not incurred a penalty during that calendar year under CAISO Tariff Section 37, in proportion to GMC paid. Violations of CAISO Tariff Section 37.5.2, Accurate and Timely SQMD, may include a market adjustment, which is a charge under CAISO Tariff Section 37 to provide an approximate settlement for the value of the inaccurate Meter Data. The market adjustment is calculated based on the MWh value of the inaccurate Meter Data in each hour of the applicable period and the applicable LMP. The CAISO allocates market adjustment proceeds to Scheduling Coordinators, in proportion to average UFE charges for the corresponding UDC territory during the period of the inaccurate Meter Data.2 The allocation is included on the Settlement Statements for the same Trading Day that the CAISO includes the market adjustment charge on the Settlement Statement.

3.4.1 - Violations of 37.5.2, Accurate and Timely SQMD, may involve a “market adjustment”, which is a charge separate from any financial penalty amount that approximates the value of inaccurate, late, or missing Meter Data.. (See CAISO Tariff Sections 37.5.2.2.4). Note that not every violation of section 37.5.2 necessarily triggers a market adjustment.
3.4.3 - Penalties for Rules of Conduct violations, as well as market adjustments for inaccurate, late, or missing Meter Data meter data, are invoiced through the CAISO Settlement Process and will appear on the next relevant Settlement Statement. Market Participants may appeal penalties assessed by the CAISO to FERC. The CAISO holds the proceeds of penalties collected in a trust account, allocating them after the completion of the calendar year during which they were assessed to Market Participants that have not incurred a penalty during that calendar year under CAISO Tariff Section 37, in proportion to GMC paid. Violations of CAISO Tariff Section 37.5.2, Accurate and Timely SQMD, may include a market adjustment, which is a charge under CAISO Tariff Section 37 to provide an approximate settlement for the value of the inaccurate, late, or missing Meter Data Meter Data. The market adjustment is calculated based on the MWh value of the inaccurate, late, or missing Meter Data in each hour of the applicable period that was not processed in the CAISO’s regular market settlements process. The market adjustment charge is calculated on an hourly basis. The charge is the product of the applicable MWh value in the hour and the average RTD LMP during the hour, subject to a minimum price for the hour of $10/MWh.Note that the CAISO does not assess a market adjustment when the initial error was to the Scheduling Coordinator’s detriment or if the Scheduling Coordinator, under a single SCID, is the only Scheduling Coordinator in the utility service area during the meter data event. The CAISO allocates market adjustment proceeds to Scheduling Coordinators, in proportion to average UFE charges for the corresponding UDC territory during the period of the inaccurate Meter Data.2 The allocation is included on the Settlement Statements for the same Trading Day that the CAISO includes the market adjustment charge on the Settlement Statement.
