An upcoming study on the benefits and challenges of developing floating OSW will explore a range of topics to help inform Oregon state lawmakers.

CAISO intends in 2022 to focus on long-term transmission planning, interconnecting storage and extending the real-time Western EIM to a day-ahead market.

An RTO could provide Oregon with economic, planning and operational benefits, but it would not serve as a “universal problem-solver,” a new study says.

A Colorado PUC report found that joining an organized wholesale electricity market could save the state’s utilities $50 million to $230 million annually.

CAISO restarted the stakeholder process to expand its Western Energy Imbalance Market from a real-time to a day-ahead interstate market after a 14-month break.

FERC commissioners told an audience of Western stakeholders and regulators that they back the formation of a Western RTO; California can't go it alone.

The first day of EBA's Mid-Year Forum included discussions on FERC's inquiry into transmission cost allocation and organized market developments in the West.

Increased discussion of a Western RTO is being driven by clean-energy mandates and state laws requiring transmission owners to join an organized market.

CAISO paused its WEIM EDAM effort last year but renewed it Wednesday amid a growing push for greater Western regionalization and market coordination.

An Oregon committee discussed how a Western RTO would likely take shape for reasons much different from those that motivated the other organized markets.
