Bonneville's final record of decision will come as little surprise to those who’ve been following market developments in the West.

CAISO released a draft final proposal detailing how EDAM will allocate congestion revenues in circumstances when a transmission constraint in one BAA produces “parallel” flows in a neighboring BAA also participating in the market.
