Abstract :
Over the past year, the future makeup of the US electric transmission industry has become better defined, although a number of unresolved issues still remain. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has articulated its vision of a national transmission grid controlled by large entities, which it calls regional transmission organizations (RTO). FERC Order 2000 provides the latest piece of architecture to help define and drive the development of competitive markets for electricity generation and its transmission across the system
