CAISO leaders staged a virtual “town hall” to stress the importance of a smooth rollout to the ISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market in May and promise to address market seams issues.

CAISO, California and other parts of the West head into 2025 with a heavy load of priorities: implementing EDAM, developing the infrastructure needed to meet ambitious climate goals, and moving forward with new and continuing initiatives to address some of the ISO’s biggest challenges.

Arizona utility commissioners said they wanted to see more independent governance for CAISO before further committing to the WEIM.

A two-day CAISO stakeholder meeting on the proposed day-ahead extension of the Western EIM focused on resource sufficiency and transmission.
