CAISO engineers examined options for transmission upgrades to resolve reliability concerns and reduce natural gas' role in meeting capacity requirements.

CAISO is moving ahead with a plan to stem systemwide market power, even though not everyone is convinced the effort is necessary.

FERC accepted an agreement between CAISO and a Calpine plant to provide black start service, but agreed that more cost information was needed.

Representatives from utilities, RTOs and technology vendors gathered at FERC headquarters for a workshop to discuss the role of grid-enhancing technologies.

The California PUC voted unanimously to recommend that some older gas-fired plants remain open for up to three years to prevent reliability problems.

Competitive transmission developers made an argument at OPSI’s annual meeting: Supplemental projects undermine regional planning efforts.

CAISO’s Western Energy Imbalance Market posted more than $801 million in benefits for its participants after five years of reporting quarterly results.

The often tense relationship between California and other Western states occupied much of this year’s Transmission Summit West.

FERC again rejected a bid by developers to obtain transmission status and cost-based rates for a proposed $2 billion pumped storage project in CAISO.

Promoters of renewable energy worry about reliability as fossil-fuel plants retire and renewable resources are slow to take over, ACORE attendees heard.
