The current non-market approach could be ineffective.

• Transmission service could be oversold.
• Transmission Loading Relief (TLR) is sometimes ineffective.

The current approach is reliable, but can be inefficient.

• Imbalances between electricity generators and buyers are not valued or compensated.
• Prices are not readily apparent during peak demand times. The cost of doing business when the grid is congested is higher than it could be.
