IESO and OEB join forces to support innovative projects to help meet provinces growing energy needs
June 24, 2021
Businesses and communities will soon be able to test innovative energy technologies and approaches as a result of a new collaboration between the Independent Electricity System Operator and the Ontario Energy Board. The IESO’s Grid Innovation Fund and Ontario Energy Board’s Innovation Sandbox will hold a joint, targeted call later this year for proposals testing distributed energy resource capabilities to provide local and provincial grid services. If harnessed effectively, DERs have the potential to increase grid reliability, affordability and competition. Read the full release.
A new stakeholder engagement initiative has been launched to gather input on the details of the targeted call from interested parties. The anticipated open intake period for proposals is November 2021.
