The OEB is amending its Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for electricity distributors as part of its Reliability and Power Quality Review initiative. These changes aim to provide greater insight into distributor performance during severe weather events and improve visibility into customer interruptions caused by issues in the host distributor’s distribution or transmission systems. The amendments will come into force on January 1, 2026.

The OEB has posted Price Comparison templates for Natural Gas Contracts for Utilities Kingston valid from August 1, 2025 - October 31, 2025.

The OEB has launched a consultation on the regulatory treatment of electricity demand-side management (eDSM) programs delivered by electricity distributors that provide both local and system-wide benefits. This consultation draws on a new framework proposal from the IESO-LDC DSM Regulatory Working Group and supports directives issued by the Minister of Energy and Electrification.
