  • Abstract
    Independent transmission companies seeking to invest in transmission assets can face different investment incentives depending on whether the investment opportunity is in an RTO, or not In some cases, there may be different investment incentives between RTOs.

Additional discussion will explore financial and operational differences and their effect on the willingness to invest.
