The OEB is initiating Phase Two of its consultation on the Benefit-Cost Analysis Framework for Addressing Electricity System Needs (BCA Framework). This phase builds on the work completed in Phase One by proposing potential refinements to the Energy System Test and exploring the inclusion of societal impacts related to energy conservation investments within the framework. Stakeholders interested in participating are invited to submit their intent via email by November 4, 2025.

The OEB has released an updated variance settlement factor that is to be used by electricity distributors to calculate a one-time credit or charge for consumers who choose to stop purchasing electricity through the Regulated Price Plan. This factor is called the "Final RPP Variance Settlement Factor" and is updated on the OEB website monthly.

The OEB has posted Price Comparison templates for Natural Gas Contracts for Kitchener Utilities valid from October 1, 2025.
