The Western Energy Imbalance Market (EIM) Regional Issues Forum (RIF) is a venue to discuss and share opinions on issues regarding the Western EIM and relevant topics. In an Aug. 12, 2021 notice it was announced that the RIF is seeking nominations for liaisons that have open positions. Each sector of the forum is tasked with selecting liaisons whose roles are to organize and facilitate input and participation from their respective sectors on the topics and content of the forums. The search includes liaison positions in each of the following sectors where there are
impending vacancies:
- Western EIM entities (as defined in the ISO tariff; seeking one liaison);
- ISO participating transmission owners (as defined in the ISO tariff; seeking one liaison);
- Consumer-owned utilities located within an Western EIM balancing authority area that are not included in another sector (seeking one liaison);
- Independent power producers and marketers who engage in transactions within the Western EIM footprint (seeking up to two liaisons);
- Federal power marketing administrations may select one liaison (seeking one liaison).
NOTE: The public interest groups and consumer advocates sector has a full complement of two liaisons, who intend to remain in their positions.
The current list of liaisons is available on the RIF webpage on the Western EIM website. Meeting information is contained below. The most up to date information is also included on the Western EIM calendar at https://www.westerneim.com/Pages/Calendar.aspx.
