What This Order Did

Order 2000 encouraged the formation of regional transmission organizations (RTOs) and independent system operators (ISOs) to administer regional transmission systems and wholesale markets in ways that improve efficiency and non-discriminatory access. It is a central structural milestone in how much of the U.S. bulk power system is coordinated regionally rather than utility-by-utility.
