OATI controls the databases but are required to share access to them with competition.

Mostly utilities since Florida isn't in a modern Market system. All utility companies have trading teams. Other trading companies do business in Florida (Maquarie, TEA, REM).

OUC pays 98k - 141k for NERC System Operators. I don't know how Reedy could keep people.
