Coronavirus (COVID-19) update

Ontario’s electricity system is reliable with adequate supply to meet our needs. The IESO has implemented controls to ensure the continued reliable operation of the grid and minimize risks to its employees and stakeholders. Currently, most non-essential IESO staff are working from home, and increased hygiene and physical distancing measures are in place to protect those employees working onsite. The IESO is not accepting visitors at our three facilities, and in-person engagement and meetings are no longer being scheduled. Where possible, meetings and events including engagement activities are being moved to conference calls or webinars. Registration information has been updated on the website to reflect this change.

Thank you for your patience and co-operation. Please contact customer.relations@ieso.ca if you have any questions.
