Energy Imbalance Market for the Western Grid

Western Grid Group
Project completed October 2014

Synapse developed a whitepaper outlining the benefits of a regional energy imbalance market (EIM), including annual dollar savings and reliability improvements. Synapse examined the proposed integration of PacifiCorp (October 2014) and Nevada Energy (October 2015) into the CAISO EIM. The paper also discusses the ways in which all utilities (IOUs, municipals, and co-ops) would benefit from a regional EIM.
