Data Release and Accessibility

Background   With the start up of the California Independent System Operator Corporation’s (the ISO) new market system based on Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP) on April 1 of this year, stakeholders have expressed a desire for the release of additional information that would enable them to better understand market results and participate more effectively in the ISO markets. In response the ISO committed to conduct a stakeholder process to explore the issue of data release and accessibility in ISO markets, and to implement appropriate enhancements to its current data provision practices.   Phase 1 – Transmission Constraints   Phase 2 – Convergence Bidding Information Release   Phase 3 – Other types of market data to support well-functioning, competitive ISO spot markets, including Price Discovery and Outage Information.
