The Event Defaults tab defines which values populate the Issue Event screen in the Web application of IEE. Settings on this tab are optional.

   • Use Default Settlement Period. Select this checkbox to set a default settlement period for all events for this program. From the dropdown menu, select Hourly or Entire Event.

   • Use Default Price. Select this checkbox to set a default price per unit of commodity for all events in this program. Enter a dollar amount in the field. You can make changes for individual events, but the price you enter here shows up on the Issue Events screen for this program by default.

A penalty price is the price per unit of commodity over the baseline or firm demand level that the customer will pay if the settlement method results in a negative value. You can make changes for individual events, but the price you enter here shows up on the Issue Events screen for this program by default. Enter a dollar amount in the field.
   • Use Default Event Times. Select this checkbox to enable default start and end times for all events in this program. Select a Start-Time and End-Time (24-hour time format) from the dropdown menu.
