While some stakeholders are ‘charmed’ by SPP’s market initiative effort, others urge need for deeper tie to CAISO.

PacifiCorp will be able to meet Oregon’s ambitious greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets for electric utilities but “it will not be without challenges,” a company official said.

Last September, California residents helped the state avert rolling blackouts by acting on an emergency text. What does that mean for RA planning?

PacifiCorp’s transmission formula rate protocols lack transparency and may limit the ability of interested parties to review and challenge rates, FERC decided.

Panelists at the CREPC-WIRAB spring meeting argued over whether the West would benefit more from a day-ahead market run by CAISO or with another run by SPP.

FERC ordered show cause proceedings on PacifiCorp’s and NV Energy’s interconnection rules while approving changes to limit speculative projects in Nevada.

FERC approved changes to PacifiCorp’s interconnection procedures that will allow it to use retiring generators’ interconnection capacity for new power plants.

FERC approved a $4.4 million settlement with PacifiCorp that ends an enforcement probe into the utility’s transmission line rating practices.

Nearly a dozen utilities committed to joining the “binding” iteration of the Western Resource Adequacy Program, with more expected to sign on later this month.

CAISO issued its final plan to add a day-ahead market to its real-time Energy Imbalance Market, and PacifiCorp said it would join if the plan is approved.
