Treatment of Confidential Information

Related to Reliability Based Power System Studies & Transmission Service Charges Technical Panel April 26, 2016 IESOTP 296-4b

• What is the issue?
• What is our proposal?
• Stakeholder engagement
• Next steps

Agenda

2

• Basecase model (electrical representation of the

grid) is, and must remain, confidential

• Stakeholders require basecase data to design

and/or ensure that their facility operates reliably

• Market rules dealing with confidentiality and

the IESO Confidentiality Catalogue present some challenges in providing basecase model to those that need it, namely:

– Connection Applicants and Market Participants – Transmitters

Issue

3

• Improve efficiency in distributing the basecase

by eliminating the need for:

– notification when giving the model to transmitters; and – asking permission of all market participants and await response each time; before we release the model to consultants

• We will still protect confidentiality of

information through the requirement of a use specific Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)

Proposal

4

• Communication was sent to all stakeholders re proposed

changes – IESO received one comment:

– Amenable to signing NDAs – Can the basecase be shared by the consultant?

• The proposed market rule changes will suggest that:

– The basecase cannot be given to other entities, individuals or

• rganizations as per the NDA

– The basecase is to be used for the stated purpose in the NDA and must be destroyed afterwards – Results from the basecase can be provided to others but cannot include the basecase

Stakeholder Engagement

5

• April 26: Seek direction from Technical Panel

that this proposal warrants consideration and that the proposed rule changes should be posted for broader stakeholder comment

• May 31: Review stakeholder comments on

proposed rule changes and seek advice from Technical Panel to recommend to the IESO Board

• June 15: Request for IESO Board to consider

proposed rule change
