The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) is an organization responsible for managing the state's electricity grid. It ensures that electricity supply meets demand in real-time, coordinating the flow of electricity across the grid and maintaining system reliability. NYISO also oversees the wholesale electricity market, where power producers and suppliers trade electricity. In addition to grid management, NYISO plays a key role in planning for future energy needs. It conducts studies to assess the reliability of the electricity system and supports the integration of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, into the grid to promote a cleaner energy future.
