Last week's FERC technical conference on the EIM began on a contentious note but concluded with participants understanding each others’ perspectives.

The Sacramento Municipal Utilities District (SMUD) will join the Western EIM in spring 2019 at the earliest, according to the head of BANC.

The latest ISO-NE briefing on its ongoing economic study focused on the shortfall of energy market revenues, prospects for storage and meeting RPS goals.

More changes are needed to the CAISO proposed rules for a Western RTO to win approval from the states in which PacifiCorp operates, stakeholders say.

CENACE and CAISO announced an agreement to explore the benefits of having Baja California Norte join the Energy Imbalance Market (EIM).

CAISO is seeking ways to ensure that the EIM governing body and participants, havea say in ISO policies that affect the EIM.

The MISO Independent Market Monitor presented new data showing how much energy is wasted because of the RTO’s lenient thresholds for uninstructed deviations, reviving his criticism of the rules.
