Regional Issues Forum

Regional Issues Forum

This forum is organized by 12 sector-selected liaisons that facilitate input and participation from their respective sectors on relevant topics. 

The forums, held approximately three times a year, allow stakeholders to discuss broad issues related to the Western Energy Markets, including the Western Energy Imbalance Market (WEIM) and the Extended Day-Ahead Market (EDAM). The forums are open to the public, and those interested are encouraged to attend and participate. The forums may produce documents or opinions for the benefit of the WEM Governing Body, California ISO Board of Governors, and the ISO.
