TDRP Milestones and Stakeholdering

The Transitional Demand Response Program (TDRP) was first introduced to the Market Advisory Council on February 18, 2004. In its Action Plan on Demand Response, the IESO included the concept of the TDRP (formerly known as the Economic Demand Response Program) as a key feature in the plan.

The IESO’s Board of Directors approved the development of the TDRP on June 18, 2004. The Board requested they be provided with a report on the nature of program applications prior to making any final selection.
