Indigenous communities play a pivotal role in Ontario’s energy transformation. The Indigenous Energy Support Program is providing up to $15 million for energy planning, infrastructure and education to support Indigenous leadership in the energy sector. ieso.ca/Get-Involved/I…

The #Eclipse2024 ended for Ontario at around 4:30 PM EDT. Ontario’s solar generation dropped from about 1,800 MW to about 70 MW as the IESO secured other generation to compensate.

The partial eclipse has started in Niagara Falls where it will reach totality around 3:20 PM. As the eclipse progresses, you can watch the impact on the electricity system at ieso.ca/powerdata. #Eclipse2024

A total solar eclipse is making its way across North America today and will cross over southern Ontario this afternoon. The event is expected to last from about 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EDT. Ontario's electricity grid is prepared with different forms of supply ready to step-in.

To engage and elevate cyber discourse, the IESO curated a unique digital series – Cyber Security and the Electricity Grid – that features cyber stalwarts sharing insight and expertise. For the complete series visit: ieso.ca/en/Sector-Part…

Enter the Year of the Dragon, which is the fifth animal in the Chinese zodiac. People born under this sign are known to be charismatic, ambitious, adventurous and fearless. Wishing everyone who celebrates, a prosperous Lunar New Year.

Reliable and affordable access to electricity is essential for economic development. The IESO is at the EDCO conference to discuss the role of municipalities in the energy transformation and the importance of informed decision-making.

New! SOE is offering incentives to eligible businesses in the Ottawa region for the installation of solar PV systems to lower metered energy consumption, reduce energy costs and help maintain a reliable electricity grid in Ottawa. For more info visit: ow.ly/iFM450QsGvY

Happy Hanukkah to those celebrating the next eight days. May this year’s festival of lights illuminate your home and bring unity, love and compassion.

Income-eligible households can now get a free cold climate air source heat pump through the Energy Affordability Program. We take care of all the details, including professional installation. ow.ly/YjRH50Qg2xV

In Canada, as around the world, there is a push to achieve a net-zero economy, including a clean electricity system. As Ontario’s electricity system planner, the IESO is at the centre of this change. Learn more about how the IESO is preparing: youtu.be/Lg8y_2dycIw

Energy storage can support the grid and Ontario's communities, spurring economic development, job creation and Indigenous partnerships, while providing power to homes and businesses.

#ICYMI We released our Joint Targeted Call Interim Report with Ontario's IESO, providing an update on the pilot projects we’re supporting that test the capabilities of distributed energy resources in providing grid services at the local and provincial levels.

To help meet Ontario’s growing energy needs, the IESO and Ontario Energy Board are working with electricity distributors, and technology companies and aggregators to unlock the potential of local forms of energy supply. Read up on the progress: ieso.ca/en/Get-Involve…

100 years to get us to where we are, 11 years to make the change.' - Lesley Gallinger, President & CEO of Ontario's IESO, addressed some of the challenges ahead in our journey to a #NetZero future during our ‘Future of Climate & #Energy ' event last week.

Today, at 11 a.m., Ontarians held a #momentofsilence in honour of those who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice. During this solemn moment, the IESO control room saw a decrease of about 200 MW in electricity demand, enough energy to power a city the size of Oshawa.

We are hearing insights from Jason Fitzsimmons, Deputy Minister of Energy @ONGov, and Lesley Gallinger Ontario's IESO, on the decarbonization of #Ontario 's energy system, supply and demand dynamics, and the roadmap to our climate goals with @aradwanski The Globe and Mail.

Today marks the close of the IESO’s 7th First Nations Energy Symposium. Thank you to everyone who made the journey to participate and share their insights. And a special thank you to Stan Wesley as Kahnekahnekahtahk for guiding us through the two days. #FNES2023
