The OEB has published the 2026 Quarter 4 prescribed accounting interest rates applicable to the carrying charges of deferral, variance and construction work in progress (CWIP) accounts of natural gas utilities, electricity distributors and other rate-regulated entities.

The OEB has released its Review of Ontario's Regional and Bulk Electricity Planning Processes, a report to the Ministry of Energy and Mines. The report sets out recommendations that will improve regional and bulk electricity planning processes by clarifying responsibilities, expectations and processes for the benefit of planning participants, municipalities, Indigenous communities and electricity consumers. Process improvements are expected to result in integrated, co-ordinated and cost-effective plans that will guide prudent investment by Ontario’s electricity distributors and transmitters and support the province’s economic growth.
