The IESO works at the heart of Ontario's power system – ensuring there is enough power to meet the province's energy needs in real time while also planning and securing energy for the future. It does this by:

• balancing the supply of and demand for electricity in Ontario and directing its flow across the province's transmission lines;
• planning for the province's short term, medium term and long-term energy needs and securing clean sources of supply to meet those needs;
• overseeing the electricity wholesale market where the market price of electricity is set; and
• engaging in activities that promote electricity conservation and the efficient use of electricity.
