FYI re Bruce to Milton

 

 

In conjunction with Hydro One’s application to the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) for leave to construct a transmission reinforcement project between Bruce and Milton (OEB file No. EB-2007-0050) the IESO has received an interrogatory request to release to intervenors in this proceeding the power flow model used by the IESO. The model contains details of the transmission system characteristics and connectivity, station load and generation, and related equipment characteristics and physical operations, including market participant information.  The information contained in the model may permit the identification of confidential information relating to a market participant’s physical equipment and operations.

 

The IESO is advising all market participants of its intent to comply with this interrogatory request and, subject to certain requested terms and conditions, disclose the model.  The IESO will request the OEB to designate the model as confidential, that the model not be placed on the public record, that access to the model only be granted to those intervenors who sign a Declaration and Undertaking restricting the use of the information contained in the model, and that at the conclusion of the proceeding any copies of the model provided be destroyed or returned to the OEB Secretary for destruction.

 

The OEB will determine whether the model is confidential and the applicable terms and conditions, if any, governing its release.

 

Affected persons that wish to make submissions to the OEB regarding the interrogatory request should forward comments to the Board Secretary at the OEB at boardsec@oeb.gov.on.ca with a copy to Carl Burrell at carl.burrell@ieso.ca as soon as possible.  The OEB has established tight timelines for responding to interrogatory requests in this proceeding and as such the IESO will be writing to the OEB later today to request that the release of the model be subject to the above noted terms and conditions.  Upon receipt of the OEB’s determination the IESO will respond to the interrogatory request.

If you would prefer not to receive further messages from this sender, please send an email to customer.relations@ieso.ca.
