Creating more efficient and flexible wholesale markets that will support a more resilient and reliable grid will be critical as new load and generation come online.

Efficient, fair, and transparent market constructs are thus foundational to transitioning to a clean, reliable, equitable electric grid. This FOA will assist applicants&#8212;States, ISOs/RTOs, and domestic entities that have partnered with States and/or ISOs/RTOs &#8212; that have formed partnerships with or otherwise include States, ISOs/RTOs to perform analytical studies on critical market issues or convene stakeholders to address issues facing developing or existing wholesale markets. GDO suggests five (5) broad priorities for proposed projects: 1) seams between markets, 2) regional resource adequacy, 3) market design and price formation, 4) regional footprint studies, and 5) integrated regional planning approaches.
