Commenters generally back FERC’s proposal to approve new NAESB standards for transmission but urged it to reject two replacement rules.

CAISO launched a two-part initiative Wednesday that would alter how Western Energy Imbalance Market participants submit their base schedules.

FERC ruled Avista violated its own tariff by requiring BPA to acquire additional firm point-to-point transmission service to self-supply operating reserves.

BPA has pulled back into a more cautious operational posture in response to the COVID-19 pandemic after relaxing restrictions in June.

The pandemic is having little impact on BPA's financial health, with FY 2020 net income projected to exceed a worst-case scenario.

CAISO named the head of BPA as its new chief Thursday, a move that could help further the expansion of the Western EIM and increase its regional influence.

The proposed expansion of CAISO’s Western Energy Imbalance Market to a day-ahead market won’t be as voluntary as advertised, some stakeholders are arguing.

FERC accepted settlements with Bonneville Power Administration, FirstLight Power and an unnamed entity for violating NERC reliability standards.

FERC accepted NERC Notices of Penalty against the Bonneville Power Administration, Idaho Power and the Niles Light Department.

FERC approved two CAISO proposals to address concerns that the EIM’s rules constrain hydroelectric operations and undercut the value of resources.
