Energy-Storage.news Premium speaks with Sergio Melendez, storage sector manager at CAISO, and Ali Karimian, market optimisation director at GridBeyond, about regulating Bid Cost Recovery Payments in the California Independent System Operator market.| Energy-Storage.News
After an initial rush to deploy that gave CAISO and ERCOT the lead in US BESS adoption, both markets are focused on capacity and availability, writes Amit Mathrani of Rabobank Americas.| Energy-Storage.News
April 2025 saw another round of record solar and storage participation in CAISO. We’re taking a look at how these resources, on both sides of the meter, continue to reshape market dynamics across the Golden State.| Grid Status Exports
Based on analyzing CAISO generation additions and utilities revenue requirements for 2012-2023, the marginal cost of transmission is $125 per megawatt-hour or $0.1246 cents per kilowatt-hour.| Economics Outside the Cube
From 2009 to 2018 I presented data comparing the accuracy of the utilities forecasts to those from the CEC IEPR. The IEPR forecasts were consistently much more accurate.| Economics Outside the Cube
TransGrid Energy has successfully secured over US$1.4 billion in financing for two BESS projects located in Arizona totalling 450MW/1,800MWh.| Energy-Storage.News

On September 5th and 6th, 2024, the California ISO (CAISO) was under stress from both within and without. High temperatures, spiking day-ahead prices, import cuts, and wildfires — a problematic milieu. Despite this, real-time prices remained low and neither conservation calls nor emergency alerts made an appearance. Let's dig into conditions| Grid Status Exports
As we approach the end of another shoulder season — a period of lower demand and higher transmission outages — it's a good time to explain curtailment, a crucial yet often controversial aspect of today's grid operations.| Grid Status Exports
The U.S. power grid is so complex that trivial changes are hard to comprehend and harder to implement. Yet, a recent announcement by the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) is closer to historic than trivial, making it a good case study for a more integrated and efficient grid.| Grid Status Exports
The era of renewables marks a substantial shift in the dynamics of power grids. Today’s dispatchable generation isn’t just operating to meet the relatively predictable slope of demand, but to seamlessly match the ever-shifting puzzle edge of net load.| Grid Status Exports
While CAISO continues to set renewable generation records, there are worrying signs of regional balkanization of flexibility which could increase fossil fuel generation in an era when many BAs in the West are trying to do the opposite.| Grid Status Exports
