Energy Imbalance Market Update
3
Energy Imbalance Market started November 1
• Reduce costs by serving
imbalance from most economic
resources
• Enhances reliability by
improving system visibility and
responsiveness
• Leverages geographical
diversity of loads and resources
in the market footprint
• Builds on existing scalable
market platform scalable
• Preserves BAA autonomy,
including compliance,
balancing, and reserve
obligations

Benefits primarily derived from:
• Reduced flexibility reserves
• More efficient dispatch, within and across BAs
• Reduced renewable energy curtailment

EIM deployment update
• Smooth transition on November 1 with PacifiCorp
relative to scope of implementation.
• EIM dispatching participating resources as designed to
balance real-time supply/demand across the EIM areas.
• Optimized transfers benefiting both supply and demand.
• Experienced some transitional data transfer, software
issues and process learning.
• Tuning new business practices to enhance information
flow between operations and market inputs.
• ISO will track EIM regional benefits and provide quarterly
reports to stakeholders
