Facility Outage Management (SE-27)

The IESO is upgrading its current outage system to provide greater functionality and most importantly, to improve efficiency. This initiative will provide an opportunity for market participants to provide input during the upgrade of the outage planning system.

Upgrading to this new tool has resulted in significant changes to the outage business process and the outage market manual. Stakeholder input will be used to assist us in providing an effective user interface and revising the outage planning market manual reflecting the new rules requirements, the tool functionality and plain language revisions of the market rules.
