Pathways Legislation Passed: Advancing Independent Governance of Western Energy Markets

The ISO commends the California Legislature, Governor Newsom, and the diverse coalition of stakeholders for their leadership in advancing this important legislation. This marks a crucial next step toward independent governance of Western electricity markets — a milestone shaped by years of successful and evolving regional collaboration.

As the Pathways Committee develops the framework for the new regional organization, the ISO will coordinate closely to ensure alignment with legislative requirements. The ISO remains fully committed to the successful launch of the Extended Day‑Ahead Market and will offer technical support throughout the transition.
