If there is no dispute, the The invoice will proceed to the NYSERDA Finance team for processing.   You can track invoice approvals on the Payments Reference tab. When NYSERDA receives your payment submission, the Status will show Sent to Finance. Once NYSERDA has approved payment, the status will show as Approved.

If there is a dispute, NYSERDA PM will be notified and will review your notes. 

For NYISO True-ups: If dispute is due to a NYISO True-up, please contact the NYSERDA PM listed in the portal to review the NYSERDA True-up Process. If, for any reason, an adjustment must be made to a payment that was already billed, then a new payment will be created for the same period, instead of adjusting on the existing payment. The new payment record will be created exactly like the original old payment, but the amount due should be the adjustment amount deducted from the original amount paid. I.e: if we pay for 1000 RECs in October but 4 months later we owe an additional 50 new RECs, then the Monthly REC Price and Monthly Payment Minus Already Paid = True up Payment amount.

Once the dispute is resolved, the invoice will be sent back to the Billing contact to re-review and the process begins again.

Tip

The 30-day prompt payment policy begins when the invoice is sent to Finance. As an example, if an invoice is sent on 4/15, 4/15 would be considered the “basis date” and the due date would be 5/15 or 30 calendar days. If the email is sent after 5PM or on a weekend, then the next business day is considered the basis date.
