The CSV versions of the Public Reports are available to be downloaded from the FTP site at ftp://aftp.ieso.ca/pub/reports/PUB/. For information on downloading these reports please read the Public Report Retrieval document. The FTP site is the only location to view the Dispatch Constrained Shadow Price report, because this report only has a CSV version.

Recently, the IESO began issuing some reports in XML format (see Quick Take 12: Accessing IESO Reports Formatted in XML PDF). These reports are available on the IESO Report Site.
