<strong>Powering the markets that keep energy moving</strong>

Industry challenges

Markets built for a changing power system

ISOs must operate grid & markets as supply, demand and grid conditions become more dynamic. Growth in variable renewables, batteries and large new loads is increasing the need for rules that value flexibility, manage congestion and preserve reliability.
