CAISO expanded the scope of its annual Stakeholder Symposium by inviting representatives of California's oil and agriculture industries.

At the CAISO Stakeholder Symposium, the Board of Governors and a panel of Western state regulators discussed what the grid of the future will look like.

Gas supply for New England and Southern California is the top reliability concern for the coming winter, FERC officials said.

Energy storage can provide many benefits to the Western electricity grid, but it will require complex and costly modeling to be integrated properly.

NRG Energy asked the California Energy Commission to suspend its review of the Puente Power Project, a proposed 262-MW gas-fired plant in Oxnard.

The CAISO-run Western EIM has increased the operational flexibility of the region’s utilities, panelists said at the Infocast Transmission Summit West.

The fate of the West’s coal-fired power was already sealed prior to the EPA announcement that it will seek to repeal the Clean Power Plan (CPP).

The lack of cohesive policy remains the chief obstacle to integrating energy storage, a panel of experts said at the Infocast Transmission Summit West.

Two California Energy Commissioners are recommending the agency deny a permit to construct NRG’s proposed Puente Power Project natural gas-fired plant.

CAISO is facing stakeholder criticism over fundamental aspects of an initiative designed to keep needed generating resources from retiring prematurely.
