The Extended Day-Ahead Market is designed to deliver significant reliability, economic, and environmental benefits to utilities across the West

Extended Day-Ahead Market (EDAM)

Building on the demonstrated economic, reliability, and environmental benefits of the Western Energy Imbalance Market (WEIM), the California ISO’s EDAM will optimize the use of existing transmission and resources in the much larger day-ahead timeframe across an expanded Western footprint.

EDAM will open the door to significantly improved economic benefits through the commitment of least-cost generation across the market’s broad geographic footprint and enable improved situational awareness across balancing authority areas, enhance reliability, and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
