Transmission System Monitoring
In addition to the market monitoring for ISOs and RTOs, we provide independent monitoring services for the provision of transmission services in non-RTO areas. The objective of this monitoring is to ensure full access to transmission service, which is essential for promoting competition in these areas. In addition to monitoring for anticompetitive conduct by the transmission provider, we also seek to identify improvements in their processes and assumptions that would increase the quantities of transmission available to wholesale market participants.
We currently perform independent transmission monitoring of the Pacificorp, MidAmerican Energy, Public Service of New Mexico, Arizona Public Service, and Duke systems under FERC-approved market monitoring plans.
