The deadline everything depends on
A settlement note can be challenged within 5 working days — art. 237 of the regulation approved by ANRE Order no. 127/2021. After that, tacit acceptance applies (art. 238): the note stands as it arrived.
Later corrections remain possible for 6 months (art. 243), but only on limited grounds: aggregation errors, IT system outages, metering errors, non-compliant block exchange notifications. Forecast error is not among them — and rightly so, the nomination is the account holder's responsibility.
The diagnostic below does not fit inside that deadline, and does not claim to. It looks at months already closed, and a compliance verdict requires a materiality threshold agreed before the period examined.
What does fit is the monthly verification: the note arrives, the report leaves within 2 working days, so time is left inside the five.
We do not file challenges and do not represent you — meeting the deadline stays yours.

What you get
A report over 12 months, built from your own settlement notes rather than our estimates:
- total imbalance cost, in RON and in RON per MW installed;
- surplus and deficit separately, at 15 minutes;
- which quarter-hours carried the cost, with date and time — on the data measured so far, the most expensive 2% of intervals carried 55.9% of the reference plant's gross loss;
- whether your nomination runs systematically long or short, and since when.
Free. One analysis per account holder. It is not a trial and it does not expire.
Per account holder, not per asset, because the settlement note is issued to the account holder and does not break down per Asset: it carries no EIC code and no metering point. The report therefore covers all your Assets inside the BRP's perimeter at once, and the cost cannot be attributed to any single plant. The combined installed capacity of your Assets is the denominator of the „RON per MW" figure, and the plants counted are listed in the document.
The window is twelve whole months. If one month is missing, the report is not issued: one that describes „your annual cost" over eleven months out of twelve is worse than no report at all, because nothing in it would show that something is missing.
What you do not get, and why
No savings figure. Nowhere does it say „you could have saved X". This tells you what it cost, never what could have been avoided — the second is a model promise, and we do not make it before measuring it out of sample.
No compliance verdict. Checking the arithmetic of a settlement note requires a materiality threshold agreed before the period under review. For historical months that threshold does not exist and cannot be created retroactively — so the diagnostic describes, it does not attest. Note verification starts at signature and runs forward.
How to send the notes
Open a free account and upload the note directly. You no longer need to write to us to get a channel.
What has not changed is why there is no anonymous upload: the tool that reads settlement notes is built for trusted files, and exposed without a perimeter it would become a parsing surface. An anonymous sender cannot give the warranty that they were entitled to hand the note over, and cannot be served a deletion request. The account solves exactly that — it is not a formality, it is the thing that was missing.
At first upload you declare the account holder the note is issued to. If it is already linked to another account the request is refused and you write to us: a company cannot claim itself, or anyone could write over someone else's month.
What you give in return, said plainly. The note is kept on your account, identifiable — it is what produces the history you get back. For our models we use pseudonymised forms only, derived from it: the series enter under the plant's code, without the account holder's name, and what we publish are aggregated market patterns, not your data. Your note is never shared with another client and is not redistributed. You accept this separately, at upload, and may withdraw at any time, for the future — see the Privacy Policy, 4.5.
Pseudonymised, not anonymised, because we keep the link between the plant code and your company — so the series remain personal data, with your rights over them intact. The other word would have sounded better and told less of the truth.
That is what the free diagnostic costs. If you would rather not, the settlement register is contracted normally, for a fee.
