At the jointly sponsored November 23, 2022 webinar, the IESO and OEB proposed to cooperatively examine the roles of pricing, programs, and procurement (3 P’s) in optimizing DER adoption. The PWU supports their objectives to produce more economically efficient outcomes and ensure incentives do not work at cross purposes. The IESO has asked for feedback on the projects research, objectives, as well as any insights. The PWU continues to advocate for rate plans that create relevant pricing signals for DER adoption such as variations on Time of Use (TOU) regulated rates where they potentially offer a superior low-cost approach to incenting productive DER adoption compared to the electricity market-based procurement solutions.
