CAISO’s internal Market Monitor provided more details about the extreme day-ahead price spikes occurring over a three-day period in June.

California’s scorching heat pushed CAISO day-ahead energy prices to record highs in the second quarter after market mitigation measures unexpectedly failed.

CAISO sought to address stakeholder concerns in its final proposal for preventing the retirement of power plants that may be needed for system reliability.

CAISO’s Department of Market Monitoring amplified its opposition to a fundamental aspect of the ISO’s plan for commitment cost mitigation.

CAISO's Monitor submitted comments on the ISO’s straw proposal for its Commitment Cost and Default Energy Bid Enhancements (CCDEBE) initiative.
