Regional integration and EIM greenhouse gas compliance

This initiative explores mechanisms to track compliance obligations with California greenhouse gas regulations for supply resources located outside of California in an expanded balancing authority area.  This initiative will also examine similar mechanisms for resources  participating in the Energy Imbalance Market (EIM).


Outcome

Energy generated in or imported into California is subject to California’s greenhouse gas regulations. This initiative helped reduce the magnitude of secondary dispatch by limiting the eligible quantity an EIM participating resource can be attributed as serving California ISO load to its dispatch capability above its base schedule.

Implemented: November 1, 2018
FERC approval: October 29, 2018
Board of Governors approval: July 26, 2018
EIM Governing Body approval: July 12, 2018
