Contact: ISOMedia@caiso.com

Primary connection with public has an updated look, improved navigation

FOLSOM, Calif. – The California Independent System Operator (ISO) is proud to announce the launch of its new CAISO.com website today, featuring a contemporary look, better organization, and streamlined navigation.

The debut of the public website marks the first major overhaul of CAISO.com since 2010, and brings our most important digital platform in line with the modern demands of the highly technical and fast-moving energy industry. It also supports our mission to provide transparency in our work, by enhancing access to the most up-to-date information.

Users will find a visually-appealing, intuitive and quick-responding site on computers or mobile devices. As always, CAISO.com is the primary point of contact and digital hub of all the ISO’s activities, initiatives, reports and data, now with more intuitive filtering and funneling of subjects. 

The navigation has been redesigned to allow for fast, easy access to resources, menus have been reorganized, most-visited topics have been floated to the top of the webpages, and business needs have been grouped intuitively.

Among other new features, the website now has a Stakeholder Center with links to policy initiatives, training, the commenting tool, and a new “Participate with the ISO” section. A menu choice for Systems and Applications has been added to every webpage to speed access to technical resources identified as high-usage areas of the site.  

The previous website will remain online through June 30, and can be accessed using a link on the homepage of the new CAISO.com site until then. Please be aware that no updated or new content will be posted to the previous site, effective today. 

Two virtual training sessions have been held to help the public get familiar with the new website. Recordings of the sessions can be found on the site’s new Training Center page, along with a “crosswalk document” showing locations of topics on the previous and new website. In the coming weeks, short videos focusing on navigating specific sections will also be available on that page.

Users can provide feedback or submit questions about the new site to the CAISO.com “Contact us” form.
