This document presents the results of Brattle's 2023 simulations for the Extended Day-Ahead Market (EDAM), focusing on its implications for the Balancing Authority of Northern California (BANC). The study simulates the specific EDAM design to analyze its benefits, projecting over $800 million in annual cost savings for participants, 2.4 TWh in reduced renewable generation curtailments, and decreased WECC-wide coal dispatch and regional emissions by 2032. Key insights for BANC include cheaper purchase access, new congestion and transfer revenues, and optimized gas generation strategies.
