Toronto: The Market Surveillance Panel has adopted a new Monitoring Document regarding prices offered by generators in order to take a generating unit offline.
The document outlines evaluative criteria that the Panel will use in monitoring for gaming in relation to prices offered by a generator in order to signal an intention to come offline.
For more information, including the MSP’s consultation process, please see this June 23, 2011 news item: http://www.ieso.ca/imoweb/news/newsItem.asp?newsItemID=5738.
IESO stakeholdering efforts on this topic had been occurring under SE-84 (http://www.ieso.ca/imoweb/consult/consult_se84.asp). This initiative is now on hold pending further assessment by the IESO of the impact of the Panel’s Monitoring Document.
