California ISO

California ISO (CAISO) is an organization that manages the electricity grid for most of California and part of Nevada. It ensures that the supply of electricity meets demand in real-time, coordinating power generation and transmission to keep the lights on reliably. CAISO also oversees electricity market operations, facilitating fair and efficient trading among utilities, power producers, and consumers. By balancing supply and demand, CAISO helps prevent outages and integrates renewable energy sources, supporting California’s goals for a cleaner, more sustainable energy system.
