Definition
Reformed the Order 888 open-access framework after FERC found that undue discrimination in transmission service persisted despite nominal compliance, implementing 26 specific reforms across transparency, coordination, and procedural requirements. Key changes included clearer standards for evaluating transmission service requests, enhanced coordination obligations between transmission providers and customers, and stronger rules governing ancillary services. The reforms were designed to close loopholes that allowed utilities to favor their own affiliated generation even while formally offering open-access tariff service.
