About the Outage Management System API

The Outage Management System (OMS) manages Outages (both planned and unplanned) in a constrained Network environment. The system includes a single-step Outage submission and approval process.  

The OMS API, an external-facing API is used by Market Participants (MPs) and the Network Operator (NO) to interact with the OMS through web services.
