Distribution Market Operator (DMO)

Distinct from the role of managing a Network Services Market (normally the role of the Distribution System Operator), the DMO is the entity responsible for operating a distribution-level energy market in a system that has very high levels of DER.

All feedback will be reviewed and considered for inclusion in subsequent updates.
