Definition
Established the foundational open-access framework by requiring all public utilities with interstate transmission facilities to offer non-discriminatory wholesale transmission service under a pro forma Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT), providing competitors the same access utilities provide their own generation affiliates. Mandated creation of OASIS websites for real-time public posting of available transfer capability so all market participants see the same grid information simultaneously. Critically unbundled transmission from generation services, preventing utilities from cross-subsidizing or leveraging transmission control to favor affiliated generators — the foundational principle of competitive wholesale electricity markets.
