MISSISSAUGA, Ontario – December 10, 2020 – The IESO released the results of its Summer Capacity Auction, awarding almost 250 MW of Ontario capacity to Rodan Energy Solutions, reinforcing Rodan as the largest demand response provider in the province. With approximately 992 MW of total energy capacity made available for bid by the IESO in this auction, today’s capacity allocation announcement increases Rodan’s position as the single largest contributor, responsible for almost 25% of the available MW capacity.
The Summer Obligation Period, running from May 1 to Oct 31, 2021, covers the time when the total demand for energy across Ontario is at its highest. The capacity auction is the IESO run program where energy producers and energy aggregators commit to an amount of MW burden that they will take from the Ontario grid when called upon. This is done by either supplying extra MWs or removing MWs of load from the grid.
Headquartered in Mississauga, Rodan Energy Solutions have become the trusted leader in delivering demand response and managing intelligent curtailment through their continuous investment in technology and industry expertise. Rodan’s energy analysts and engineers complement their years of experience with industry-leading, AI-driven load forecasting tools. Rodan has additional services to develop distributed energy resources (DERs) and manage DERs with asset optimization, providing the added value that demand response participants depend on.
“Trust and communication are at the heart of why we have extended our lead as Ontario’s largest demand response provider,” says Paul Grod, President and CEO at Rodan. “Our commercial and industrial partners put their trust in our ability to predict what is going to happen in this dynamic energy market and rely on us to communicate action plans effectively. Our investments in technology, such as machine learning algorithms, help ensure we deliver on our commitment to continuous improvement.”
