Intelometry Loss Factor Services

Intelometry specializes in the collection, forecasting, and maintenance of loss factors, unaccounted-for energy (UFE), and deration figures for utilities and their associated ISOs across the nation. This critical data is made available to our Loss Factor Service subscribers, offering both historical and forward-looking datasets for all covered utilities.

Our loss factor outputs are delivered in standardized, easy-to-use formats, provided in MS Excel. Subscribers can conveniently access these outputs through the Intelometry inRetail system or via File Transfer Protocol (FTP). With Intelometry’s Loss Factor Service, retail suppliers can be confident that the loss factors supporting their pricing, forecasting, and settlement operations are always current and accurate.

Comprehensive Loss Factor Collection and Forecasting

Intelometry collects published loss factors from a wide array of utilities and their associated ISOs nationwide. Additionally, we gather UFE figures for most utilities and deration figures specifically for PJM utilities. This data is maintained as both historical and forward-looking hourly curves, where actual collected data forms the historical curve, and our forecasts generate the forward curve. All loss factors are available either as a one-time purchase or through an ongoing subscription.

Our loss factor datasets are produced and updated daily in standardized MS Excel formats. Customers using the Intelometry inRetail system for retail energy operations can directly access the loss factors of any subscribed utility. Those not using the inRetail system can retrieve Intelometry loss factors via FTP.

Loss Factor Maintenance and Monitoring

Intelometry’s Market Analytics Group (“MAG”) regularly monitors loss factors, UFE and deration for many utilities and their associated ISOs nationwide. Whenever a utility or ISO updates static loss factor, UFE or deration values or changes the frequency, source or methodology associated with dynamic values Intelometry MAG will review the change and revise Intelometry’s internal loss factor update and forecasting methods accordingly. Subscribers to Intelometry’s Loss Factor Service receive a notice whenever a loss factor schema is updated that details the precise nature of the change and how Intelometry loss factor values may be impacted.

Subscribers can rely on Intelometry’s Loss Factor Service to ensure that the loss factors they use in operations are always up-to-date and as accurate as possible. Our service alleviates the need for structuring desks to continually research and adapt to utility changes, ensuring seamless integration with evolving utility requirements.
