Annual policy initiatives roadmap process - 2026

The ISO’s annual policy catalog and roadmap process prioritizes and sequences market design enhancements by soliciting policy initiative proposals from stakeholders, assessing stakeholder support for proposed policy initiatives, and documenting a work plan, called the roadmap, for future policy initiatives.

The 2026 process will begin with stakeholders submitting potential policy initiatives in January and February. Following a stakeholder prioritization process in the spring, the ISO will publish the policy catalog, a focused list of potential discretionary policy initiatives considered for inclusion in the policy roadmap. The policy catalog and stakeholder prioritization feedback will help inform the development of the policy roadmap, which is finalized at the end of the year.
