The IESO is planning to implement a new system for outage management in September 2016. The Outage Management Process Redesign Stakeholder Engagement group was formed to discuss the transition to a new outage system for all market participants who own equipment such as loads, generators, transmitters and LDCs.
A meeting was held on February 23 for market participants that will need to use the new system. Meeting topics include a recap of new system testing, the proposed training plan for the new system and proposed changes to market manual 7.3.
All information on this transition, including a project overview presentation delivered on November 23, 2015 is available at http://www.ieso.ca/Documents/consult/se109/SE109-20151119-Presentation.pdf. Interested parties may email
