Schedule Management

Consistently offsetting the balancing group 

Schedule management describes the process of settling energy supplies between balancing groups based on ¼-hour energy schedules. By no later than 2:30 p.m. each day, the balancing group manager provides the transmission system operator with binding notice of the intended energy supplies for the following day. The goal of schedule management is to achieve a consistent balance within the balancing group to ensure the volume of energy fed in matches the volume consumed at the same time.
