Summary
BHE Montana said Monday it signed an agreement to participate in the California Independent System Operator’s new Extended Day-Ahead Market, adding a Montana utility to the nascent Western power market.
Eight formal participants are now committed to EDAM, giving the California-led initiative another sign of traction as it expands beyond its initial footprint.
BHE Montana CEO Ed Rihn said the move should help the company tap lower-cost resources, manage system conditions more effectively and support reliable electric service for Montana customers and the wider region.
