We can build big things! Take a break from doomscrolling and read about how the West is coming together to create a new energy market that works for the whole region and helps all of us with energy affordability and reliability.
Today, the West is channeling the same cooperative ambition that built big projects, such as the Union Pacific railroad, Columbia River dams, & Pacific Transmission Intertie, by building a regionwide energy market platform—the Regional Organization for Western Energy.

As PJM prices rise, flexibility can’t be ignored
Rather than viewing rising capacity costs as simply a burden, energy users should understand them as incentives for more efficient and dynamic loads.
