The OEB has issued a letter informing all rate-regulated electricity and gas distributors about an adjustment to their July 2021 OEB cost assessment invoices. The letter explains that funds from administrative monetary penalties collected by the OEB in regards to compliance matters have been used to reduce the distributors’ July cost assessment invoices on the expectation that the distributors will promptly supplement their LEAP-EFA budget for 2021 by the same amount. The letter also describes temporary changes to the screening guidelines for LEAP-EFA that are designed to help energy consumers most in need.
