MDM/R Technical Panel

The MDM/R Technical Panel assists the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), in its role as the Smart Metering Entity (SME), in the technical advancement of the MDM/R functions and the interfaces that support the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) systems, the Customer Information Systems (CIS), and the billing functions of the Local Distribution Companies (LDC).

The MDM/R Technical Panel provides input and recommendations to the SME on the MDM/R solution and related interfaces regarding new or enhanced functionality to minimize adverse impacts to the MDM/R, AMI and CIS elements of the Smart Metering System.

The MDM/R Technical Panel is a sub-committee to the SME Steering Committee, keeping this Committee apprised of any significant MDM/R modifications and enhancements being considered.

MDM/R Technical Panel meetings are held a minimum of 4 times per year and are scheduled depending on technical matters or issues arising from the MDM/R or the LDC systems interfacing with the MDM/R.
