A new CAISO paper lays out a series of challenges around how to improve participation of demand response and distributed energy resources in the ISO's day-ahead and real-time markets.
The California Department of Water Resources and other parties have asked CAISO to restart a transmission access charge initiative that was put on hold in 2018 due to the development of the ISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market.
A new report examines CAISO, MISO, PJM and SPP efforts to accelerate interconnection and concludes that while some may succeed in speeding generation additions, some sacrifice fairness, transparency and open-access principles.
FERC granted CAISO's request to remove the sunset date on the Western Energy Imbalance Market Assistance Energy Transfer feature, which has been used by more than 10 of the market’s balancing area authorities in recent years.
CAISO's Department of Market Monitoring has asked the ISO to re-evaluate its intertie scheduling proposal for the Extended Day-Ahead Market due to potential impacts on market participants.
FERC denied rehearing requests regarding approved revisions to CAISO’s Open Access Transmission Tariff generator interconnection procedures, which contesting parties said rely on in part on “subjective and discriminatory criteria.”
At one of the most well attended workshops of the year, CAISO staff described new processes for scheduling intertie resources and resource adequacy imports in EDAM.
CAISO’s Board of Governors approved two proposals intended to improve how the ISO calculates resource adequacy values and tracks RA supply.
In an ongoing high-stakes analysis, CAISO has determined that transactions between PacifiCorp’s two balancing authority areas can “materially” affect parallel flows on certain CAISO transmission constraints.
PacifiCorp and Portland General Electric remain on track to join CAISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market on their planned entry dates, although the schedule remains “very tight and very aggressive."
