Implementation of Day-Ahead Commitment Process (SE-16)

The Day-Ahead Commitment design was approved by the IESO Board on December 7, 2005. For information on the design, including past consultations, please see supporting material at this link.

To enable all potentially affected stakeholders the opportunity to provide input on the implementation of 2006 Day-Ahead Commitment processes, a new stakeholder plan has been created. The goal of this plan is to identify and minimize any adverse impacts on stakeholders' operations and businesses and the IESO-administered market in general.
