IESO report outlines next steps to remove obstacles for energy storage
December 20, 2018
With energy storage poised to play a greater role in the electricity system, the IESO is committed to eliminating barriers to their fair competition in the wholesale markets. Developed with input from the IESO’s Energy Storage Advisory Group, Removing Obstacles for Storage Resources in Ontario focuses on the need for greater clarity when it comes to Market Rules, Ontario Energy Board codes as well as legislation and regulation.
