PacifiCorp joins other utilities leaving the Western Power Pool’s Western Resource Adequacy Program just before the deadline to commit to the program’s first binding phase.

PGE is exploring an alternative to the Western Power Pool’s Western Resource Adequacy Program that better suits its upcoming participation in CAISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market, the utility told Oregon regulators.

The West-Wide Governance Pathways Initiative’s Launch Committee Co-Chair Pam Sporborg said the stakeholder process of the new regional organization that will oversee CAISO’s energy markets is an evolution of the ISO’s Regional Issues Forum.

NV Energy has asked Nevada regulators for permission to join CAISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market, which would fill in a central piece of the market's footprint.

NV Energy said it is discussing a potential new resource adequacy program with other participants in CAISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market.

The Colorado PUC issued a split decision approving Public Service Company of Colorado’s application to join SPP’s Markets+, finding that market participation is in the public interest and will “provide a number of benefits.”

NV Energy notified the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada that it plans to leave the Western Power Pool’s Western Resource Adequacy Program, citing five critical issues with the program’s design.
