Two out-of-date references were updated. See yellow highlighted text on Reference page.The Ontario Power Authority (OPA) is implementing a contractual load reduction program for participants that can provide an initial minimum demand response (DR) capability as identified within the Program Rules.

The defined terms that are italicized have been updated and Appendix B has been updated to be consistent with the revision to the market rules.

MM2: Market Administration, 2.1 Dispute Resolution, MDP_PRO_0017 Ver. 11.2 1-May-2008 N/A Baseline 19.1 Stakeholder Information
Revised to clarify that a 'Notice of Dispute' must be submitted to commence good faith negotiations and again to commence mediation and/or arbitration. The obligation to undertake good faith negotiations currently found in Chapter 3, section 2.4.1 of the market rule will apply to all disputes. Currently, section 2.4.3 exempts specific types of disputes from the requirement to negotiate in good faith and section 2.5.1A imposes a limitation period of 20 business days for the filing of a notice of dispute for those claims. The combined effect of these two restrictions is to limit the time available for the parties to engage in any meaningful negotiations at the outset of the proceeding. The procedure is being revised to include a minimum 30-day window for good faith negotiations for all disputes under the market rules and to provide details of how to initiate good faith negotiations. MPs will have to prepare for good faith negotiations for all disputes.
