- Renewable Integration: Market and Product Review -
2010-07-08 - California ISO - This
discussion paper initiates a comprehensive, phased process to work with ISO
stakeholders to identify and develop potential changes to wholesale market
design, including market products and procedures, needed to accommodate the
expected substantial increase in production by variable energy resources
over the next decade. The ISO seeks stakeholder input to help prioritize
such design changes over the coming years, given the schedule for ISO market
enhancements that are already planned or underway. The ISO expects that any
proposed design changes resulting from this initiative will support
efficient spot markets as well as forward contracting and investment
decisions that reflect integration requirements, while ensuring reliable
system operations -
