The IESO has initiated a new stakeholder engagement plan to consider alternative solutions to the temporary suspension of Constrained-Off Congestion Management Settlement Credit (CMSC) payments to dispatchable loads. The first meeting will be on September 16. A draft stakeholder plan is available at for comment. To submit comments or to register for the meeting in-person or via teleconferencing, email engagement@ieso.ca.

An urgent market rule amendment (MR-00373-R00) has temporarily suspended CMSC payments for constrained-off dispatchable load facilities. The temporary suspension is in effect until March 31, 2011 or an alternate date determined by the IESO Board.
