Abstract
The assembly bill 1890, signed in September 1996, opening the California electricity industry to open competition, required the creation of an independent system operator and a power exchange. The first contract for the implementation of the California ISO was signed in December of 1996, and subsequent contracts were signed on March 31, 1997. The California ISO started commercial operation on March 31, 1998 and in its first few months of operation has proven its viability. This paper provides an overview of the California ISO.
