The Independent Electricity Market Operator (IMO) manages the integrated operation of Ontario’s power system. Today, in transition, we orchestrate the operation of the power system for the benefit of the retailing utilities, directly supplied customers and generation companies in Ontario. This is done in conformance with the policies and procedures of the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC). The IMO’s responsibilities include a broad range of integrated operations, from operations planning, security assessment and scheduling, to real time co-ordination of the power system.
Legally incorporated on January 1, 1999, the Ontario Hydro Services Company (OHSC) is a major energy services provider in Ontario and beyond.
