CAISO and Pacific Gas and Electric have asked FERC to reconsider its decision last month to approve only some of the utility’s requested transmission rate incentives.

FERC rejected an argument by the California PUC (CPUC) that it erred last year in allowing PG&E to include a 50-basis-point ISO participation adder.

California utilities and state agencies are cooperating on developing plans to manage the effects of global climate change on the electricity grid.

FERC approved PG&E's request to recover from its customers a portion of the costs of a $1.8 billion package of planned transmission improvements.

The RTO Insider Top 30 collectively had a good second quarter, but nearly half the companies turned in worse bottom-line performances than a year ago.

CAISO's Monitor said the ISO must address flaws in its proposal to allow third-party transmission providers to make unused capacity available to the EIM.

CAISO on Monday called on consumers to voluntarily conserve energy this week as scorching heat drove up electricity usage and caused outages.
