This system is regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and retail regulators, including the Arkansas Public Service Commission, the Louisiana Public Service Commission, the Mississippi Public Service Commission, the City Council for the City of New Orleans and the Public Utility Commission of Texas.The Entergy transmission system moves high voltage bulk electric power from generating plants of the EOCs and third parties across an interconnected system of transmission lines and substations. RTOs also operate competitive wholesale electricity markets, where electricity generators bid their supply into the market and the lowest-cost bids are dispatched first. A regional transmission organization (RTO) in the United States is an electric power transmission system operator (TSO) that coordinates, controls, and monitors a multi-state electric grid.The transfer of electricity between states is considered interstate commerce, and electric grids spanning multiple states are therefore regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). In the areas where an RTO 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. These may be vertically-integrated monopoly utilities operating on "cost-of-service" utility revenue models (like Xcel Energy or Black Hills Energy in Colorado), or non-profit municipal utilities or co-ops, many served by "Generation and Transmission" (G&T) Cooperatives like Tri-State (The U.S. has 66 "Balancing Authorities" that ensure electric reliability and balance electricity supply and demand at every moment. In the U.S., roughly five billion megawatt (MWh) hours of electricity are sold at the wholesale level, i.e., sold to a utility or other entity reselling that energy to residential, business, or industrial customers. In actuality, the electricity industry is still regulated (depending on the region) by a series of federal, state, and local agencies and various public commissions. The delineation between an ISO and an RTO is subtle to some and quite specific to others, as the similarities in the table below illustrate: The official definition for an RTO: "An entity that is independent from all generation and power marketing interests and has exclusive responsibility for grid operations, short-term reliability, and transmission service within a region. The ColumbiaGrid members, including the The former Grid West participants who had argued for an eventual RTO, mainly investor-owned utilities and state representatives from Transmission planning base case data . Entergy is a member of the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) regional transmission organization. MISO has functional control of Entergy's transmission facilities and performs top-down transmission planning in accordance with MISO's Open Access Transmission, Energy and Operating Reserve Markets Tariff (MISO Tariff). MAP Pending High Voltage Lines . Who We Are: PJM is a regional transmission organization (RTO) that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity in all or parts of 13 states and the District of Columbia. The ISO provides access to its regional transmission planning base case data and dynamic data files to members of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) and non-WECC members who have an approved WECC Base Case Data Request Package prior to requesting access to this data. Today's RTOs do the same thing with an added component of greater responsibility for the transmission network, as established by the FERC.In economic terms, this structure constituted an impediment for new providers who would want to generate power, move energy, or provide retail electricity to individual consumers. CFE was previously a vertically integrated utility but under the 2013-2014 electricity reforms, CFE, has been restructured into separate distribution, transmission, and generation organizations. Today's power industry is far more than a collection of power plants and transmission lines. Some RTOs, such as PJM in the Mid-Atlantic states, were created from existing “power pools” dating back many decades (PJM was first organized in the 1920s). ERCOT is unique in that the balancing authority, interconnection, and the regional transmission organization are all the same entity and physical system. The system also delivers power directly to large commercial and industrial retail customers.

In addressing #2 above, the original order (and subsequent clarification by the FERC) allows utilities, under certain defined circumstances, to seek extra-contractual recovery of stranded costs. 36 Entergy's Transmission Organization consists of the employees and assets used to plan, operate and maintain Entergy's transmission system.
