Future participants in CAISO’s EDAM have already held extensive talks about developing an alternative to the Western Power Pool’s WRAP for non-CAISO EDAM members, NV Energy confirmed in a filing with Nevada utility regulators.

Citing developments within WPP’s Western Resource Adequacy Program, the Oregon Public Utilities Commission waived penalties for independent power suppliers participating in the state’s alternative RA program.

PacifiCorp is hiring additional employees to prepare for CAISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market next year, with staff expecting the launch will bring a few “scratches and bruises.”

A new Brattle Group study examined the impact on planning reserve margins of an alternative Western resource adequacy program that includes expected participants in CAISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market.

PacifiCorp joins other utilities leaving the Western Power Pool’s Western Resource Adequacy Program just before the deadline to commit to the program’s first binding phase.

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.

NV Energy said it is discussing a potential new resource adequacy program with other participants in CAISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market.
