Day-Ahead Needs and Priorities (SE-2)

The IESO sponsors working sessions to develop and evaluate different alternatives to satisfy the day-ahead planning and operational needs of Ontario’s electricity sector. Day-Ahead Commitment Processes will address interim arrangements over the coming months to ensure that measures are in place to enhance the reliability of the power system in advance of the summer of 2006. Complete day-ahead arrangements, building on longer term needs, priorities and objectives, will continue to be evaluated and addressed.
