INITIATIVE:
Price formation enhancements

Started: Apr 11, 2022

Leads
James Friedrich

This initiative will explore several topics related to price formation in the California ISO markets focused on real-time market pricing. Scarcity prices are important to attract supply and incent resources to be available and perform. They are also important to provide appropriate price signals to reduce demand. Recent energy shortages and associated prices in the ISO real-time market have emphasized the need for the ISO to review and enhance its scarcity pricing provisions.  Consequently, the ISO plans to consider the following topics in this initiative: (1) enhance real-time market scarcity pricing to better reflect tight supply conditions, (2) consider fast-start pricing, and (3) enhance how the real-time market uses advisory prices to dispatch resources.
