CAISO expanded the scope of its annual Stakeholder Symposium by inviting representatives of California's oil and agriculture industries.

At the CAISO Stakeholder Symposium, the Board of Governors and a panel of Western state regulators discussed what the grid of the future will look like.

The lack of cohesive policy remains the chief obstacle to integrating energy storage, a panel of experts said at the Infocast Transmission Summit West.

Two California Energy Commissioners are recommending the agency deny a permit to construct NRG’s proposed Puente Power Project natural gas-fired plant.

California agencies are finalizing a roadmap for commercializing microgrids in the state, aligning with a $45 million grant funding opportunity.

CAISO will gather feedback on its proposal for reliability payments to keep Calpine’s Metcalf gas-fired plant from retiring.

FERC approved CAISO’s request to be relieved of its requirement to develop a conceptual statewide plan as part of its regional transmission planning process.

FERC rejected an argument by the California PUC (CPUC) that it erred last year in allowing PG&E to include a 50-basis-point ISO participation adder.

Legislature ended its 2017 session, drawing criticism for its pursuit of CAISO regionalization and for letting a 100% clean energy bill die in committee.

California legislation that would regionalize CAISO and mandate 100% zero-carbon retail electricity sales statewide by 2045 will not pass this year.
