New Brattle Report Examines Customer Impacts of the Bonneville Power Administration’s Day-Ahead Market Participation Options
Prepared for GridLab, the Northwest & Intermountain Power Producers Coalition (NIPPC), the NW Energy Coalition, PNGC Power, and Renewable Northwest
In a new report, a Brattle team examines the potential customer impacts of the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) joining either the Extended Day Ahead Market (EDAM) or Markets+. Currently, BPA participates in the Western Energy Imbalance Market (WEIM).
The “BPA Day-Ahead Market Participation Benefits Study” was prepared for GridLab, the Northwest & Intermountain Power Producers Coalition (NIPPC), the NW Energy Coalition, PNGC Power, and Renewable Northwest. In the report, the authors model the power system in the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) to compare the costs of BPA participating in the EDAM or Markets+ versus staying in the WEIM.
The full report and press release can be found below.
Findings from the report will be discussed at a webinar hosted by the NW Energy Coalition on October 17, 2024. Learn more and register here.
