Wholesale Electricity markets

Improve and Grow Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) or Independent System Operator (ISO).

State legislation may mandate economic analysis of joining an RTO and how system operators coordinate, control, and monitor the operation of an electric system. In some places, utilities act as their own system operators. In other places, there is an independent body that operates an electric system composed of multiple utilities and sometimes multiple states. Formations of or changes to RTOs or ISOs can significantly impact our energy agreements, the reliability of the system, and the cost-effectiveness of achieving aggressive renewable energy/decarbonization targets.
