Update on Technical Panel determinations
February 7, 2019
The Technical Panel (TP) met on February 6 and determined that the following market rule amendment warrants consideration, and invites market participants and other interested persons to make written submissions to the TP concerning the amendment submission:
MR-00437: Resolute FP Canada ("Resolute") - Demand Response Registration and Metering Requirements
This amendment submission from Resolute, a demand response market participant, identifies the need for market rule amendments to change the registration and metering requirements for market participants that provide demand response. Resolute claims that the current market rules unjustly discriminate against demand response market participants who rely on self-generation to meet their own consumption, and that the IESO’s assessment of available demand response capacity should be independent of any behind-the-meter generation.
The amendment submission will be discussed at the Demand Response Working Group meeting on February 12.
The TP invites market participants and other interested persons to make written submissions to the TP by February 21 on the amendment submission. Comments can be sent to rule.amendments@ieso.ca.
