Industrial Conservation Initiative update
January 19, 2017
Regulation changes to the Industrial Conservation Initiative (ICI) came into effect January 1, 2017, which include:
- Lowering the average monthly peak demand: all customers with an average minimum monthly peak demand of 1MW or higher are eligible to participate
- Removal of North American Industry Classification System code restrictions: all customer types that meet the average monthly peak demand requirement are eligible to participate
The IESO has developed educational materials including ICI and Global Adjustment backgrounders, Demand Response and The Bottom Line on Energy Management: Making Ontario's Electricity Market Work for Your Business brochures, and the updated Peak Tracker tool. Other informational engagements will be available in the future and communicated through upcoming bulletins.
