Dispatch Issues (SE-9)

Improving the reliability and capability of existing resources by resolving ongoing dispatch issues is one of the areas that the IESO intends to address as part of its goal of enhancing the reliability of the power system in advance of the summer 2006. Dispatch volatility (e.g number dispatch instructions and dispatch reversals) and the ability to manage plant operational requirements will be addressed in this initiative. Initially, the IESO will work with affected and interested stakeholders to identify measures to address dispatch issues that can be implemented by June 2006. After implementing these measures, the IESO will continue to work with stakeholders in addressing dispatch issues requiring solutions with longer term implementation periods (e.g., solutions requiring significant tool changes, etc.).
