Summary
The legislation would require regional transmission organizations and independent system operators that run open‑access transmission tariffs to offer a basic service that delivers electricity only, without additional capacity products. It targets the entities that manage the bulk power grid, aiming to give generators and consumers a simpler, more direct way to access transmission. The goal is to expand market options for electricity delivery.
