The Colorado Public Utilities Commission held its fifth public information session on the potential addition of the Mountain West Transmission Group to SPP.

The CAISO Board of Governors approved a controversial proposal on congestion revenue rights and market power mitigation.

A CAISO official revealed that a generation owner has approached the ISO about seeking a 2019 reliability-must-run contract.

CAISO officials on Wednesday urged California lawmakers to pass legislation that would convert the grid operator into an RTO.
