Ontario Electricity Supply ForumPEO Mississauga Chapter - September 6, 2007 Rhonda Wright-Hilbig, P.Eng Market Analysis - IESO
The IESO’s Role Within the Industry • There are a number of different entities but all of them have their own set of accountabilities and defined responsibilities • The IESO manages Ontario's electricity grid - directing the flow of electricity across the transmission system to meet the province's power needs • We balance this demand for electricity against available supply through the wholesale market
Ontario’s Electricity Market • Approximately: • 30,000 MW installed capacity • 28,000 km high voltage transmission system • 250 authorized market participants • Anyone connected to high voltage grid must become an IESO market participant • Anyone connected to a Local Distribution Company (LDC) has a choice to become an IESO market participant or participate retail market
The Markets IESO - Administered Markets Financial Physical Real-time Operating Reserve Energy Procurement Transmission Rights Ancillary Services
Electricity Sector Participants Participants Outside Ontario Transmitters Directly Connected Large Consumer Retailers Directly Connected Generator Low Volume End-use Consumer Embedded Large Customer Wholesale Price RPP EmbeddedGenerator Designated Consumer Local Distribution Company Network
Types of Market Participants DISPATCHABLE NON-DISPATCHABLE Submit bids/offers Do not submit bids/offers – accept market price Adjust operations based on dispatch instructions received from the IESO Consume or produce as desired – no dispatch instructions

Balancing Ensure that supply meets demand within system limits 60 Hz Supply Demand Generators + Imports Loads + Losses + Exports
Security Limits • Security limits are the reliability envelope in which the market operates; they protect our grid and our neighbours’ grids from disturbances • Energy will take all available paths to get from supply point to consumption point • Transmission lines do not control or limit the amount of energy they convey • Energy flows are managed by dispatching generator output • Different limits are used under different operating conditions
Prices and Schedules • Dispatch follows economics as closely as possible • Can’t dispatch based purely on economics • The unconstrained mode of the dispatch algorithm determines market clearing prices and “market schedules” in the absence of transmission constraints • “copper plate” model of the grid • Assumes resources can ramp at three times their offered ramp rates (September 12, 2007) • The constrainedmode of the dispatch algorithm determines dispatch schedules (i.e., dispatch instructions) • Respects transmission losses, transmission system limits, ramp restrictions on resources • When a difference in MW occurs between the economic “market schedule” and the practical “constrained schedule” market participants are held whole through Congestion Management Settlement Credits (CMSC) • The cost of CMSC is recovered through the IESO uplift to loads
Dispatch instructions • Dispatch instructions: • Primary method for controlling the balance of supply with demand • Indicate operating point at the end of a 5-minute interval • Are sent only if there is a required change in operating point • Can be refused for reasons of public or worker safety, equipment damage, or legal requirements
Scheduling Imports and Exports • Imports and exports are scheduled based on economics compared to internal bids/offers • Scheduled an hour in advance, scheduled for a one hour block • Participants must navigate with other jurisdictions, including transmission access • Electricity interchange improves Ontario reliability, • Imports reduce the price of electricity in Ontario, effectively add supply • Exports effectively increase demand; exports can be curtailed in the event of Ontario shortages
