Control Centers<br />
Wheeling power requires the use <strong>of</strong> transmission<br />
lines that are owned by multiple utilities. This use<br />
needs to be managed so that power can be tracked<br />
as it flows from utility to utility. <strong>Utilities</strong> manage the<br />
operation <strong>of</strong> generation, transmission, & transmission<br />
maintenance from facilities called control centers.<br />
Power that is wheeled through a system is<br />
coordinated between adjacent control centers.<br />
Although there are over 3,000 retail utilities, there<br />
are only 140 control centers in North America.
