REM Market Participant Readiness

Important Dates & Materials

January 26 | REM Market Participant Readiness pre-engagement survey due


Introduction

As we prepare for the upcoming Restructured Energy Market (REM) implementation, we are seeking your input to develop plans to ensure that all market participants are appropriately prepared at go-live. This means that market participants:

  • Understand the changes that impact their organizations;
  • Have systems, processes, and roles in place, and as an organization are equipped and prepared to operate in the new market construct;
  • Have engaged and provided feedback on what they need to be ready to implement and operate under the REM; and
  • Can transition smoothly with minimal disruption.

Your feedback will help us identify readiness needs, prioritize engagement activities, and ensure that our approach to market participant readiness addresses your organization’s key concerns. Thank you in advance for your participation. More details will be available in 2026.
