Independent System Operators (ISOs)

Independent System Operators (ISOs) are organizations that manage and coordinate the transmission of electricity over large regions. They ensure electricity supply is reliable, prices are fair, and the grid operates efficiently by balancing supply and demand in real-time. ISOs are separate from electricity generators and utilities, maintaining an unbiased role to promote competition and prevent market manipulation. They work with power producers and utility companies to facilitate transparent and efficient electricity markets, ultimately providing consumers with reliable and competitively priced power.
