Cooperation among Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) utilities has slowly been building momentum amid a backdrop of renewable buildout, thermal retirements, and clean energy policy evolution. This expansion may be close to a tipping point toward much broader market expansion. A seismic shift looms as SPP and CAISO compete to expand their market operations into the WECC, potentially ushering in a new era of price transparency and transaction capability.
In a recent webinar previewing Ascend's WECC Market Outlook, Dr. Gary Dorris, CEO at Ascend Analytics, joined Dr. Brent Nelson, Managing Director of Markets and Strategy, and Dominique Bain, Energy Markets Economist, to discuss WECC market dynamics and the rapidly accelerating opportunities for project development and contracting in the west.
