EM&V Data Extract File Transfer

Oracle Utilities Opower uses a specific file format, naming convention, and file transfer method to send EM&V data extracts to utilities.

File Format: Each EM&V data extract is provided to third-party evaluators as a tab-delimited text file. The file contains only raw customer and billing data, leaving all data preparation decisions to the third-party evaluator.

File Name Convention: Files transferred from Oracle Utilities follow a standard file name convention.

File Retention: Files stored on the Oracle Utilities SFTP site adhere to a standard file retention policy. See File Retention Policy for more information.
