by AF 0327 g3 — March 29, 2010—Informed by discussions with stakeholders, policymakers, regulators and industry experts, the California Independent System Operator Corporation (ISO) developed a 2010-2014 Five-Year Strategic Plan that it says meets the electricity sector transformation head on with new operational tools and emerging technologies.
The Plan will keep California one step ahead as it readies for a more environmentally friendly transmission grid powered ultimately by more than 100,000 gigawatt-hours of renewable resources. Emerging technologies are also shaping how consumers use electricity and the Plan incorporates smart grid and demand response advancements into future grid and market resources.
The California ISO Board of Governors validated the vision today in a unanimous vote that puts the ISO on a strategic path focused on three key areas:
- System — identifying the requirements to ensure a stable, reliable foundation for grid and market operations as well as infrastructure planning.
Environment — promoting the progress necessary to fulfill important environmental policy and regulatory objectives.
Organization — revealing the enhancements required to secure the resources and tools to manage change and ensure success.
