MembershipsAPX continues our to contribute to the industry by active membership through the following organizations: International Emissions Trading Organization (IETA)
Western Power Trading Forum (WPTF) The Western Power Trading Forum is a broad-based membership organization dedicated to encouraging competition in Western states electric markets. The WPTF goal is to reduce the long-run cost of electricity to consumers throughout the region, and maintain the current high level of system reliability. WPTF actions focus on developing competitive electricity markets throughout the Western states. By developing uniform operating rules to facilitate transactions among market participants, a vital energy market can be established. The WPTF also provides a unified voice which can influence the development of market structures throughout the region. Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC)
WECC is geographically the largest and most diverse of the eight Regional Entities that have Delegation Agreements with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC). WECC's service territory extends from Canada to Mexico. It includes the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, the northern portion of Baja California, Mexico, and all or portions of the 14 Western states between. Due to the vastness and diverse characteristics of the region, WECC and its members face unique challenges in coordinating the day-to-day interconnected system operation and the long-range planning needed to provide reliable electric service across nearly 1.8 million square miles.
