There can be times when demand for electricity has the potential to exceed available supplies. This usually happens on extremely hot or cold days. The IESO will ask the public to reduce unnecessary use of electricity in order to protect the reliability of the system. When a public appeal is in effect, a notice will be clearly posted on this website and distributed to the news media.
