The OEB holiday timeout period will be from December 19, 2026 to January 3, 2027. During this period, the OEB will generally avoid issuing decisions and documents that require immediate action from recipients except in instances where it could impact the implementation of January 1st rates or time-sensitive approvals. The OEB will also consider requests by parties to issue documents during the holiday timeout period.

The OEB has issued a letter that provides the calculations for 2027 preliminary Uniform Transmission Rates (UTRs) and facilitates their implementation in applicable 2027 electricity distributor rate applications for distributors with an effective date of January 1, 2027.

The OEB has released its Gas-Electric Co-ordination Information Sharing progress report, which it submitted to the Minister of Energy and Mines. The report summarizes the progress, modelling best practices and outcomes of the OEB’s gas-electric co-ordination information sharing forum. The report also outlines a targeted and scalable draft framework for gas-electric co-ordination information sharing.
