CAISO Says It Will Announce MRTU Start in July

It is still unclear when the California Independent System Operator's long-awaited Market Redesign and Technology Upgrade (MRTU) will take effect, but the CAISO recently suggested it will announce the startup date in July 2008.

Due to technical issues and ongoing administrative litigation over the details of the market design, the proposed startup date has been delayed several times, first to February 2008, then April 2008, and now again to an unknown time. The latest delay raised the prospect of MRTU not taking effect until next fall, after the high-demand summer season, which the CAISO's latest announcement appears to confirm.
