Cal-ISO files offer cap plan, but agrees to continue work on import issues

摘要

The California Independent System Operator has filed its long-delayedplan to comply with Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s rules toverify costs for high-priced energy offers, a move that could increasepressure on the ISO to similarly verify the costs of expensive offersfrom imports.Some stakeholders have raised concerns that the plan’s currentapproach could boost prices in California and in the Western EnergyImbalance Market. The ISO has agreed to continue to weigh theseconcerns and potentially file additional proposals to be implementedon the same time line as the offer cap plan.
