California-based Turlock Irrigation District has agreed to join CAISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market in 2027.

FERC partially approved three entities' Order 2023 compliance filings, directing them to address mostly minor — but a few substantive — issues in their submissions.

Puget Sound Energy said it is joining Markets+, marking another win for SPP shortly after the Bonneville Power Administration issued its final market policy in favor of the day-ahead market.

Markets+ stakeholders will have little opportunity to ease up in coming months despite a wave of favorable developments for the market.

SPP named Carrie Simpson, a key figure in its expansion efforts in the Western Interconnection, as its vice president of markets, effective April 1, replacing incoming COO Antoine Lucas.

Minnesota regulators voted unanimously to require that Amazon demonstrate a need for a 250-unit fleet of backup diesel generators at its proposed data center in the state.

BPA will be on the hook for nearly $27 million in funding for the next phase of SPP’s Markets+ — and potentially more depending on the market’s final footprint, according to a document SPP filed with FERC.

Powerex says it will fund the next phase of SPP’s Markets+ and “re-affirmed” its commitment to joining the Western real-time and day-ahead offering.

State regulators, MISO and members remain anxious over the fragile state of resource adequacy, how much load growth to expect and a potential new resource adequacy standard.
