The IESO continues to explore improvements to the market design, leading to increased efficiency, transparency, and competition. This information session focuses on a change to the initialization status of NQS resources in the Day-Ahead Market (DAM). The updates being made will enable the existing optimization algorithm to better reflect actual resource status and availability.
Details on the DAM IHO can be found in Market Manual 4.2. This manual will be updated as part of the IESO's June Baseline process.
