A regional transmission organization (RTO) in the United States is an organization that is responsible for moving electricity over large interstate areas. Like the European transmission system operator (TSO), an RTO coordinates, controls and monitors an electricity transmission grid. An independent system operator (ISO) is an organization formed at the direction or recommendation of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). In the areas where an ISO is established, it coordinates, controls and monitors the operation of the electrical power system, usually within a single US State, but sometimes encompassing multiple states. RTOs typically perform the same functions as ISOs, but cover a larger geographic area. A more detailed explanation of the differences between an RTO and an ISO is available at: ISO RTO. RTOs were created by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order No. 2000, Issued on December 29, 1999. ==Details== In Order 2000, the Federal Energy Regulatory Committee defined a Regional Transmission Organization as having four minimum characteristics and eight minimum functions.〔(http://www.ferc.gov/legal/maj-ord-reg/land-docs/RM99-2A.pdf )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Regional transmission organization」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
