The California ISO Department of Market Monitoring (DMM) will host a public call on Dec. 18, 2020, to discuss the recently published Report on System and Market Conditions, Issues and Performance: August and September 2020, which is available in the 2021 Summer Readiness webpage at http://www.caiso.com/about/Pages/News/SummerReadiness.aspx. The purpose of this call is to provide stakeholders with an opportunity to ask questions about the report.
This report reviews system conditions and performance of the ISO’s day-ahead and real-time markets from mid-August to Sept. 7, 2020, prepared by the DMM, which serves as the independent market monitor for the ISO and Western Energy Imbalance Market. A prior report, prepared by the ISO, California Public Utilities Commission and California Energy Commission, focuses on the root causes of the load shedding events occurring on August 14-15. This report provides additional analysis and some recommendations based on DMM’s own independent analysis.
The Preliminary Root Cause Analysis report can be found on the webpage at link above. This report also covers periods through September 7, during which ISO energy demand was forecast to be higher than August 14 and 15, but further load curtailments were avoided due to a combination of different market conditions and steps taken by the ISO and other entities.
The call will be recorded and the video file posted on the 2021 Summer Readiness webpage for a limited time. The recording is for informational and convenience purposes only, and any related transcriptions should not be reprinted without the ISO’s permission.
