Summary

  • Pathways representatives recommended on Aug. 17 that the Regional Organization for Western Energy preserve CAISO’s market monitoring functions when ROWE takes over governance of the ISO’s energy markets.
  • A robust data-sharing framework is the other key recommendation, aimed at ensuring oversight continues effectively after the governance transition.
  • The proposal centers on continuity in market surveillance as western energy-market governance shifts from CAISO to ROWE.
