The Western Electricity Coordinating Council’s effort to clarify its mission will no longer include a name change, the group’s new chief said.

CAISO is poised to take the lion’s share of the West in the competition for reliability coordinator (RC) customers, WECC revealed.

Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation requiring California to get 100% of its power from renewable and other zero-carbon resources by 2045.

Even after failing three times in three years, supporters of CAISO regionalization say they’ll likely keep at it until they succeed.

CAISO moved to update its rules to make it easier for energy storage and distributed energy resources (ESDER) to participate efficiently in its markets.

WAPA said its Sierra Nevada region will go with CAISO for RC services, while its Rocky Mountain and Desert Southwest regions will go with SPP.

Order 890’s transparency provisions do not apply to asset management projects that provide only “incidental” increases in transmission capacity, FERC ruled.

SB 901, a controversial bill to help California utilities pay for wildfires cleared the State Legislature and was sent to Gov. Jerry Brown.

A measure to expand CAISO into an RTO for Western states failed to clear the legislature for the third time in three years.

A bill that would require California to get 100% of its power from renewable and other zero-carbon resources by 2045 passed a major hurdle.
