The day-ahead market will essentially make that imbalance market proactive instead of reactive. Utilities across the West will be able to buy and sell power a day in advance, which allows them to schedule their resources based on the next day’s weather forecast and other factors like power plant maintenance.
“I think that studies and experience show that the day-ahead market will provide additional benefits that customers are already receiving from the energy-imbalance market,” she said.
