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 published the 2025 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 Ontario Energy Board’s (OEB) Board of Directors has appointed Carolyn Calwell as Chief Executive Officer. A member of the OEB’s Executive Leadership Committee for more than four years, Ms. Calwell has played a central role in the OEB’s modernization and is uniquely positioned to lead our organization. 

Ms. Calwell assumes her role at a pivotal time, as the OEB begins to deliver on the Minister of Energy and Mines’ Integrated Energy Plan Directive and continues carrying out our core regulatory responsibilities while supporting Ontario’s economic, social and environmental development.
