Updates to the Renewed Market Rules and Manuals Library
March 6, 2025
As part of the implementation of the Market Renewal Program (MRP), the Renewed Market Rules and Manuals Library will need to be supplemented to include market manuals from the current market that were not included in the original Renewed Library. These existing market manuals contain content that will continue to be relevant to the operation of the renewed market, but did not require material change to reflect the MRP design.
The renewed versions of these manuals include minor conforming changes, limited to the following:
- Alignment of the market manuals with the “zero series” naming convention introduced under the renewed market rules;
- Introduction of a ‘Section A’ in each market manual to address the market transition;
- Alignment of defined terms with the revised Chapter 0.11;
- Correction of cross-references broken due to the MRP market rule amendments;
- Minor editorial changes; and
- Updates to the market manual template to align with the market manuals developed under MRP.
The documents will be available for review on Pending Changes on March 10 with the comment period ending March 21.
Please note that the IESO typically runs a baseline process four times per year to revise market manuals and related documents that change as a result of recently approved Market Rule amendments or technical system changes. The posting noted above is not part of the standard baseline schedule, but is a special baseline to support implementation of MRP.
