Market Renewal Program on Track
March 13, 2025
IESO activities to launch the renewed market on May 1, 2025, continue as planned following the OEB’s recent decision on the application to challenge the MRP Market Rule Amendments.
Market participants are encouraged to continue with readiness activities and completing End-to-End testing which concludes on March 26. If your organization has questions about what they should be doing to prepare for the launch, please reach out to IESOCustomerRelations@ieso.ca.
In early April, the IESO will confirm with market participants its final decision to proceed with the launch of the renewed market. This decision will be based on confirmation that all necessary conditions for go-live have been achieved and the final preparations for the cutover should commence. The decision will consider that:
- Market rules are approved and in effect
- Solutions are working as designed and can be deployed to production
- The IESO is ready to operate the renewed market and solutions
- Market participants are ready to operate in the renewed market
- The IESO is prepared to execute the system cutover at go-live
In the interim, the IESO will continue to monitor progress and keep market participants informed accordingly.
