The Technical Panel met on August 11 and recommended that the IESO Board of Directors approve three amendments, and requested comments from stakeholders on two sets of rule changes.
The Technical Panel has recommended that the IESO Board of Directors approve the following market rule amendments when it meets on August 26:
- MR-00416: Demand Response Auction – Auction Parameters and Energy Market Participation
- MR-00423: Limiting Constrained-Off Congestion Management Settlement Credits (CMSC) at the Interties
The Technical Panel requests comments on the following market rule amendment proposals:
- MR-00416: Demand Response Auctions – Non-Performance Charges and Settlements proposes to amend the market rules in order to enable the settlement of amounts associated with obligations arising from a demand response auction, including availability payments, non-performance charges, and elected buy-outs.
- MR-00416: Demand Response Auctions – Prudential Support Obligations proposes to amend the market rules to specify the demand response prudential support requirements for market participants with a demand response capacity obligation.
The proposals are based on stakeholder consultation as part of the Demand Response Auction stakeholder engagement.
Stakeholders are asked to provide comments on the Demand Response Auction amendments by September 3 by email to rule.amendments@ieso.ca.
