Ontario grid tracker

What the Ontario power system is doing now

Demand, generation mix and carbon intensity from Independent Electricity System Operator, with the freshness of every field stated beside it. Fields in one snapshot do not share a freshness, and this page does not pretend otherwise.

This is not a cost product. It reports operating conditions. What power actually costs a large load is a different question with different evidence and lives in the Canadian large-load cost monitor.

Conditions now

Every field carries its own state. Four of them are never live for any market and say so where they are shown.

Current Ontario grid conditions, each field with its freshness state, observation time and any note.

Market context

How this market works

Ontario runs a single-buyer wholesale market with a Global Adjustment that recovers contracted and regulated generation cost. The Global Adjustment is frequently larger than the wholesale price itself, which is why the wholesale figure below is not a delivered cost.

The feed

IESO public reports, polled every 15 minutes. When it fails, this page says so and shows nothing rather than a stale reading.
