**Notes:**
wesTTrans.net is an enhanced OASIS site serving a significant portion of the Western Interconnection. Each participating Transmission Provider maintains their own transmission tariff but collectively they provide a common and efficient method of enhancing the transmission market within the Western Power Grid. From this single market interface access to nearly all transmission within the West can be obtained. 
The wesTTrans.net OASIS also provides significant advancements. An energy bulletin board, a resale interface and transmission deal automation system are all available for use by the Transmission Customers.
