DRAFT COPY Secure Sustainable Together Cross-border Energy and Capacity Trading Intra-and international experiences in the Western Interconnection August 20th 2018 Hyatt Regency Long Beach 200 South Pine Avenue Long Beach, California, USA (Held on the side of the Electrification 2018 international conference) Power system integration can be a tool for improving electricity security, reducing system costs, and enabling the integration of variable renewable resources. For example, rising penetrations of variable renewable generation in the Western Interconnection is driving increased regional collaboration, for example through the development of the Western Energy Imbalance Market (WEIM). One question that has arisen is the extent to which the potential benefits of regional collaboration would extend to greater integration of Mexico's Baja California power system with the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) system in the United States. In this context, the International Energy Agency (lEA)and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)are jointly organizing a workshop to better understand the state of integration of the Mexican Wholesale Market and CAISO, and to engage in a broader discussion on the question of cross-border power system integration. This workshop will engage relevant stakeholders to discuss opportunities from and obstacles to further integration, while also allowing other relevant IEA member countries to learn from the CAISO-Mexico example, and bring their own experiences to bear. Background The first stage of the lEA's work on "Electricity Security Across Borders" has focused on a "stock taking" exercise in the form of a series of case studies. Two common elements have emerged from these case studies. First, successfully integrating large shares of variable renewables requires increased real-time cross-border collaboration. Second, there is a growing interest in establishing the trade of capacity across borders. Capacity trading is of particular relevance to the question of electricity security, as without trade in capacity jurisdictions are less likely to rely on their neighbours to meet system needs in times of stress. This can lead to overdevelopment of domestic or local capacity, which can in turn impact the cross-border trade of energy. Through the organisation of this workshop, the IEA and EPRI seek to highlight lessons learned through various case studies to an audience interested in better understanding the potential impact of cross-border capacity trading. The IEA and EPRI will encourage input from Mexico, the United States, and a relevant group of expert stakeholders, allowing these lessons learned to not only inform the question of cross-border energy trading along the U.S. Mexico border and elsewhere. The meeting will be informal in nature and held under Chatham House Rule. Attendance is by invitation only. Sierra Club v.

At the same time, cross-border integration requires coordinated planning and operations. This session will look at examples from North America and Europe in order to highlight the benefits and challenges of regional integration.

This session will focus on the current experiences and the future potential for international power trading. Specifically, it will discuss the evolution of the current market arrangements, with views from all three relevant countries (Canada, the US, and Mexico) represented.
