Governing Body

Monthly

The Western Energy Imbalance Market (WEIM) is governed by a five member body with shared authority from the ISO Board of Governors on rules specific to participation to the WEIM and the Extended Day-Ahead Market that is set to launch in 2026. Designed by regional stakeholders, the governing body is nominated by a committee of western stakeholders. These members bring a high level of professionalism and leadership, with work experience in public power, investor-owned utilities, and as state regulators.
