This year marks a turning point for the ISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market (EDAM), which is a significant milestone that will shape the future of energy in the West. To explore what’s ahead and why this moment matters, the ISO invites you to join a virtual town hall on Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. (PST).
