Abstract

The California ISO is a not-for-profit public benefit corporation in charge of managing the electricity flow along California´s open-market wholesale power grid. On June 24, 2004, the CAISO Board of Governors approved a comprehensive market redesign program intended to achieve three major outcomes: allow the CAISO to conduct a day-ahead market that includes energy, ancillary services (operating reserves), and congestion management; provide a more precise model of the grid using the latest computer technology; and introduce new market rules and penalties that prevent Enron-like gaming and manipulation.
