The 2013 Annual Report, “Ready Set Go: Capturing the New Found Flexibility in Ontario’s Power Grid,” examines the IESO’s and the broader industry’s efforts to build greater resiliency in the power grid. The report details the IESO’s corporate and financial performance over the past year and features the operational innovations that have been implemented, including new dispatch capability, a new online limit derivation tool and energy modelling software. The report also sheds light on the potential of new technologies such as storage, demand response and capacity markets to increase participation and inject valuable flexibility in the market.
