Powerex intends to terminate a large portion of its rights on PacifiCorp’s transmission system in response to the utility’s plans to update its transmission tariff to align with CAISO’s EDAM.

New findings from a much-anticipated study have “not shifted” BPA's staff recommendation that the agency choose SPP’s Markets+ over CAISO’s — despite results showing greater economic benefits from EDAM.

FERC granted CAISO a waiver allowing PGE to join the ISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market a few months beyond the timeline set out in the market’s standard participation agreement.

Pathways released its Step 2 draft proposal for dividing up functions between CAISO and the new “regional organization” that initiative backers are seeking to create to oversee the ISO’s Western real-time and day-ahead markets.

PacifiCorp is poised to realize up to $359 million a year in net benefits from participating in CAISO’s EDAM, nearly double a previous estimate, according to a newly updated study by The Brattle Group.

CAISO is recommending it implement a Western Power Trading Forum proposal that could help the EDAM track and account for GHG emissions in a way that considers the variety of carbon pricing programs across the West.

Stakeholder comments filed with the West-Wide Governance Pathways Initiative illustrate the complexity of building the new kind of Western regional organization envisioned by backers of the effort.
