California warms up to a larger Western energy market

I’m joined by Brian Turner and Kathleen Staks to unpack the
details of the newly authorized Regional Organization for Western
Energy (ROWE), a unique “à la carte” RTO designed to unify the

discuss the transition from the existing imbalance market to a
full day-ahead market, the safeguards built into the bylaws to
protect state clean-energy policies, and the politics of getting
38 separate balancing authorities to cooperate.
