Upcoming Settlements Training: DAME, EDAM & EDAM ISO Balancing Authority Participation Rules

The California ISO is introducing significant changes to how it settles day-to-day market operations through a series of transformative initiatives. To support Scheduling Coordinators (SCs) in navigating these changes, we’re offering a settlements-focused training session on Aug. 20, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. This session will cover the upcoming Spring 2026 launches of:

• Day-Ahead Market Enhancements (DAME)
• Extended Day-Ahead Market (EDAM)
• EDAM ISO Balancing Authority Area Participation Rules

These initiatives are intended to modernize and expand the ISO electricity market across the West, improving grid reliability and efficiency. This class will cover many of the impacts these changes to day-to-day operations will have on settlement charge codes. Even if your organization does not plan to participate in EDAM immediately, this session offers valuable insights to help you prepare for future involvement.

Who should attend?

The primary audience for this training is the settlement personnel of SCs operating within the ISO Balancing Authority Area, those planning to participate in EDAM, and anyone engaged in Western energy markets who wants to stay informed.

Why is this important?

• Understand how settlement processes will evolve.
• Prepare for new and impacted charge codes.
• Get your questions answered by subject matter experts. 

What other training should you consider?
This session follows the Aug. 18, 2025, training that will focus on the market-related impacts of these initiatives. We encourage you to attend both sessions for a comprehensive understanding.

A video recording will be available in the ISO Training Center within three business days after the webinar.
