TEST INITIATIVES Stakeholders and the ISO are actively working to improve market design by identifying potential enhancements and implementing them in a timely and transparent fashion

Initiatives testing

Stakeholder input is essential to ISO planning processes and for the success of new initiatives from policy development to implementation. We are committed to providing ample opportunity for stakeholder input into ongoing policy initiatives to develop enhancements to the Western Energy Imbalance Market (WEIM). As entities join, we anticipate new proposals, and have processes in place to gather stakeholder feedback to ensure we evolve to meet participants’ needs.
