Earlier this year, the IESO issued an RFP to investigate opportunities and challenges associated with the alignment of the Day-Ahead Commitment Process (DACP) and gas market timeframes. The IESO announced on November 10 that, in the interest of transparency, it would be making the report public.
The report was developed by Workbench Corp in part from specific conversations with stakeholders to gather information. Report findings provide clarity of the interaction between the DACP and gas market timeframes. They confirm that while some issues exist, they do not pose a material reliability concern at this time. The identified issues, findings and feedback from stakeholders will be important inputs into any future potential changes to Ontario’s energy markets.
The IESO thanks stakeholders for their participation in the development of the study. For further details, please email
