CAISO’s Department of Market Monitoring urged the ISO to replace its interim congestion revenue allocation rules under its forthcoming Extended Day-Ahead Market “as soon as practicable.”

The size and configuration of day-ahead markets in the West will greatly impact electricity bills and grid reliability, says the Environmental Defense Fund.

Puget Sound Energy and Avista told the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission they have taken steps to build clean energy resources quickly to qualify for expiring federal tax credits, while voicing concern that limited transmission capacity and the state’s greenhouse gas targets pose challenges.

CAISO is moving toward approval of an $8.5 million financing plan for the Regional Organization for Western Energy’s start-up costs.

In approving construction of new transmission facilities for a 49-MW data center in Sunnyvale, the California Public Utilities Commission relied on a process typically used for distribution projects.

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.

FERC approved changes to electronic quarterly reports, which are required of market participants and help track rates and charges of the firms it regulates.

Participants in CAISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market likely would remain subject to the market’s daily resource sufficiency evaluation even if they joined a new resource adequacy program that’s being crafted.

CAISO is proposing new methods to address “poor quality data” from some variable energy resources in the region in order to improve grid forecasting, the ISO said in a straw proposal.

Arizona Public Service notified the Nuclear Regulatory Commission it plans to seek operating license renewals for all three units at Palo Verde Generating Station, potentially extending operations through the mid-2060s.
