I propose that Regional Transmission Organization be merged with this article, but am undecided on which title the merged article should retain. Thoughts?? Fjbfour 21:55, 11 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

I respect your thought, but sufficient difference exists to keep these articles separate. Ckazin24 02:57, 14 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

There are distinctions, mostly legal if I recall correctly. I had this all written down and will try and find it--Isemonge (talk) 17:59, 24 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

European TSOs, RTOs and ISOs share a near identical functional description. Perhaps one idea is to centralize the functional description, so that we don't have the same ideas repeated in the separate articles. The job of the separate TSO-RTO-ISO would be to enumerate whatever distinctions there are from the generic functional description of what these entities do. -J JMesserly (talk) 18:12, 24 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Where is the Boston or ISO New England real-time data online to know how close to stress the system is, so consumers can know to turn off power NOW to relieve the system? -69.87.204.25 (talk) 19:01, 10 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Goto http://iso-ne.org/ and click "LMP Map" at upper right of web page. FERC or DoE should have a web-bug, where you enter a zipcode and see a real-time status of your local grid. This would also allow an internet-based energy orb to be actively marketed, allowing customers to take action. This would be one of the first steps toward implementing a smart-grid. -- (Don Doughty) 19:08, 7 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

The content about electricity distribution in the US should be re-organized, a hierarchy should be outlined and detail added, with the provisions for changes which are underway with these organizations controlling the grid. The US Grid is under-going upgrades & changes, (smart-grid efforts), and work needs to be done to clarify this hierarchy, ie, (FERC/DoE, ISO/RTO, PUC) and the scope of oversight they provide. Also a US ISO/RTO map should be added. -- (Don Doughty) 19:08, 7 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
