The IESO has launched a stakeholder engagement to inform its research on the benefits and implications of more frequent scheduling of intertie transactions (imports and exports) in the IESO-administered markets. These transactions are currently scheduled in Ontario on an hourly basis. Scheduling intertie transactions more frequently can improve the efficiency of the market, support operations and increase alignment with neighbouring markets.

A draft Stakeholder Engagement Plan has been posted for review. Stakeholders are invited to provide feedback on the Plan by email to engagement@ieso.ca. This document and the project will be discussed at a stakeholder meeting on Tuesday, October 8.

More details can be found on the More Frequent Intertie Scheduling webpage.To register for the session, send an email to engagement@ieso.ca and indicate whether you will attend in person or by teleconference.
