INITIATIVE:
WEIM resource sufficiency evaluation enhancements

Joint Authority
Started: May 25, 2021

Leads
Danny Johnson

Phase 1 of this initiative examines the design and implementation of the current Western Energy Imbalance Market (WEIM) resource sufficiency evaluation (RSE). This initiative will review the balancing, capacity, and flexible ramping tests to determine if any enhancements are needed to ensure the test components achieve their stated objective.  In addition, this initiative will clarify what constitutes leaning, as well as determine appropriate consequences for a failure of the RSE.  

Phase 1B of this initiative enhances the accuracy and equitable application of the WEIM resource sufficiency evaluation (RSE). The phase 1B enhancements aim to resolve outstanding concerns regarding the accuracy of the RSE that were raised by stakeholders in the phase 1 initiative.  As part of the phase 1B initiative, the ISO will analyze the impact of load conformance on WEIM transfers, the interplay of WEIM transfers with hourly block exports, and the performance of the methodology to estimate uncertainty requirements.
