Energy payments (or utilization payments) for the economic dispatch of demand response (DR) resources has been an ongoing topic of discussion at the Demand Response Working Group (DRWG). Stakeholder interest in energy payments was renewed as a result of proposed market rule amendments to enable off-contract, non-regulated dispatchable generators to participate in the capacity auction along with dispatchable loads and hourly demand response resources.
To date, DRWG has been the forum for discussions with stakeholders on energy payments for DR resources – for both economic dispatch and out-of-market activations. However, given that energy payments for economic dispatch of DR resources is a complex issue and would be a substantive change to Ontario’s energy market, the IESO has determined that a broader stakeholder engagement is needed to advise on this issue. Energy payments for out of market activations will continue to be discussed through DRWG with the intent to implement the proposal by the December 2019 capacity auction.
Through this engagement, the IESO will seek feedback from stakeholders on:
