The IESO is launching a new engagement initiative to seek community and stakeholder feedback on the development of the IESO’s Innovation Roadmap. The IESO explains that the first phase of engagement on the innovation roadmap is intended to collect “input on key challenges, existing barriers to and opportunities for the integration of new technology and innovation in the electricity sector and the role of IESO in sector evolution. Input will be sought to help prioritize and focus IESO’s efforts.”
Phase one of the engagement will include a public webinar to capture broader stakeholder feedback. The first innovation roadmap webinar was planned for October 19. Phase two of the initiative will present draft elements of the innovation roadmap for stakeholder review and comment. Communities and stakeholders will be informed through draft material postings, a webinar, and potential additional in-person sessions. All materials for this initiative will be posted to the Innovation Roadmap engagement webpage.
