Toronto – Today the Ontario Energy Board named Glenn Leslie as the new Chair of the Market Surveillance Panel (MSP) and Steve Dorey as a new Panel member effective August 6, 2013.
The MSP monitors the province’s electricity markets on a daily basis to identify inappropriate or irregular activities that can have a negative impact on market efficiency or effective competition. The Panel may also identify actual or potential flaws and inefficiencies in the market rules.
The Panel then reports on, and where appropriate, investigates participants.
The Ontario Energy Board is an independent and impartial public agency. We make decisions that serve the public interest. Our goal is to promote a financially viable and efficient energy sector that provides consumers with reliable energy services at a reasonable cost.
