One of the first items the yet-to-be-seated board of the Regional Organization for Western Energy could decide on is whether to administer a resource adequacy program, as backers seek to have a proposal in place later in 2026.

The Bonneville Power Administration’s planned departure from the Western Energy Imbalance Market has prompted questions about how the agency will handle the yearlong period before it joins SPP’s Markets+.

BPA released its draft proposed decision to join SPP’s Markets+, saying that preparations have advanced to a point where it can “move forward with implementation and propose joining Markets+ in October 2028.”

As Nevada regulators consider NV Energy's request to join CAISO's Extended Day-Ahead Market, the debate over the independence of EDAM's governance is intensifying.

For the first time in years, California’s grip on Western market design is genuinely at risk, writes Nick Myers of the Arizona Corporation Commission.

Conversations remained cordial despite the ongoing competition between CAISO and SPP in the west as the RTOs’ top executives took the stage at Yes Energy’s annual EMPOWER conference.

Arizona Public Service would save $110 million/year by joining CAISO's Extended Day-Ahead Market rather than SPP's Markets+, a new analysis found.

The consequences of the Bonneville Power Administration’s decision to join SPP’s Markets+ could hit the Northwest sooner rather than later even though the agency has yet to formally join the market, a group of nonprofits suing it over the choice told the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Some parties are urging Nevada regulators to wait until initial results are in for CAISO's Extended Day-Ahead Market before deciding whether to allow NV Energy to join.
