A California State Assembly committee advanced a Senate bill requiring publicly owned utilities in the Los Angeles Basin to support DER and energy storage.

The CAISO Board of Governors greenlit new rules that allow the grid operator to constrain the operations of gas plants across the state and the EIM.

L.A. County officials asked a state court to halt the resumption of natural gas withdrawals from Aliso Canyon until more risks are analyzed.

California officials cleared the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility to resume injections, even as momentum builds to permanently close the site.

EIM leaders endorsed a CAISO proposal that would allow the ISO to constrain output from natural gas-fired plants across the market.

Stakeholders are cautiously supportive of CAISO’s proposal to permanently assume authority to limit output from gas-fired generators in emergencies.

California regulators advanced on a plan to study the potential for eliminating the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility.

A decade of mandatory standards has improved the grid’s reliability, but it’s time for regulators to prune unnecessary rules, speakers told FERC.

Energy storage technology is still moving faster than state regulators and the markets can accommodate, speakers said at NECPUC.

CAISO stakeholders pressed the ISO for details on a proposal to broaden and make permanent some of the operational measures it developed in response to the Aliso Canyon gas restrictions.
