The OEB has taken data transparency and accessibility one step further through the launch of its Interactive System Reliability Dashboard. The dashboard provides consumers with an interactive and customizable tool to better understand and visualize electricity distributors’ system reliability data including breakdown by cause codes. The dashboard provides monthly and annual data on reliability performance for a single electricity distributor, two electricity distributors presented side-by-side, as well as the electricity distribution industry as a whole.

The OEB has issued a letter providing information about communication materials that electricity distributors can use to assist with the implementation of the Ultra-Low Overnight (ULO) Price Plan, as well as introducing a new reporting requirement for distributors related to ULO.

The OEB has accepted an Assurance of Voluntary Compliance from Weyerhaeuser Canada Limited, an electricity wholesaler. The Assurance responds to non-compliance related to operation in the electricity market without a wholesaler licence.
