iconExtended Day-Ahead Market (EDAM)

EDAM will build on the economic, reliability, and environmental benefits of the Western Energy Imbalance Market (WEIM) by optimizing the use of existing transmission and resources in the much larger day-ahead timeframe across an expanded footprint.

Learn more about EDAMJoin the EDAM

iconRC West

The ISO's RC West is the Reliability Coordinator (RC) of record for many balancing authorities and transmission operators in the western United States. An RC oversees grid compliance with federal and regional grid standards, and can determine measures to prevent or mitigate system emergencies in day-ahead or real-time operations.

iconRequest application access

Confidential information and data communicated between the ISO and its participants during the course of planning and market activities are protected through robust systems and application security. All systems and applications, except OASIS, require an User Access Administrator (UAA) to grant access and removal.

iconProduct and services

The ISO wholesale energy market is comprised of distinct day-ahead and real-time processes. The energy products and services traded in our market allow us to meet reliability needs and serve load. The market also offers services in which qualified entities can buy and sell congestion revenue rights and engage in convergence bidding activities.

Learn about our products and services

iconResource adequacy

The reliability requirements and resource adequacy programs provide deliverability criteria that each load serving entity must meet, and provide rules for counting resources that must be made available to the ISO. The ISO reliability requirements program is intended to complement the state's efforts to implement resource adequacy programs.

About the California ISO

The ISO manages the flow of electricity across high-voltage, long-distance power lines that make up 80 percent of California's and a small part of Nevada's grid. The nonprofit public benefit corporation also operates a competitive wholesale energy market, and conducts transmission planning to identify grid expansion needs.
