Energy Imbalance Market (EIM) Overview
EIM’s advanced market systems automatically find the lowest-cost energy to serve real-time consumer demand across a wide geographic area. Offered in 2014 to western utilities in 14 states, it helps reduce carbon emissions by facilitating the efficient connection of renewable resources and enhancing grid resiliency. The EIM also enables grid operators to use low cost excess renewable energy that avoids having to turn off those resources to protect grid reliability, and supports clean energy policies.

A wider portfolio of resources to maintain system balance could reduce the costs of energy and capacity.Operating flexibility
Improved situational awareness and real-time visibility of transmission constraints, and dispatches resources to reduce and avoid congestion issues. Captures the benefits of geographical diversity of load and resources.
