MCG Energy’s Integrated Asset Management

IAM’s integrated data platform means that information must be entered only once to create bids/offers, OASIS reservations, and e-Tags while adjustments and curtailments are automatically reflected in positions and performance reports. This makes settlement reconciliation easy with ISOs and counterparties, including drill-downs into the individual trades and tags of each settlement charge.

IAM is also a single system for power asset management generation and load forecasting, planning, submissions, positions, and settlements. It can be used to create load forecasts visually based on similar days, auto-create demand bids for submission to markets, import generation forecasts from your unit optimizer, manage unit parameters and auto-generate market bids, track market awards, and see scheduled vs. actual volumes in a single, fully integrated asset management platform. IAM also enables you to manage generation, load, physical flows, e-Tags, transmission inventory, market data, prices, and settlements in one platform while seamlessly scheduling, tracking, and settling assets.

In addition, MCG’s IAM energy scheduling software is an easy-to-use contract and transaction management system for the capture and scheduling of natural gas products, generation of confirmations, and performing checkouts and settlements. MCG Energy’s Hosted Data Services (HDS) merges data from IAM and all other MCG Energy software products into one hosted platform for reporting and data warehousing.

Popular additions to IAM include the Shadow Settlement and Energy Imbalance Market (EIM) software, further enhancing our system’s ability to streamline and optimize power and energy management processes.
