The West-Wide Governance Pathways Initiative is advancing on its $570,000 funding target. And its members also are wading deeper into one of the key subjects it was conceived to address: CAISO's governance.

PJM spent $53.5 million on conservative, out-of-market dispatch procedures to maintain reliability during the January 2024 Winter Storm Gerri.

The PJM Market Implementation Committee endorsed manual revisions codifying the real-time temporary exceptions process for generators to report any issues that may prevent them from operating to their unit-specific parameters.

MISO’s Market Subcommittee likely will discuss either a multiday gas purchase requirement or a multiday gas unit commitment process for use during extreme cold.

CAISO’s WEIM last year hit $5.05 billion in benefits for its members since its inception in 2014, continuing the positive trend of growth tied to an expanding Western footprint.

A joint package brought forward by PJM, Dominion Energy and Gabel Associates would add intraday real-time commitment runs to the day-ahead market ahead of the three gas nomination cycle deadlines

NYISO CEO Rich Dewey highlighted efficiency improvements and the challenges of the continued electrification at the Jan. 31 MC meeting.
