Welcome to our new website
A big part of our job as Ontario’s independent energy regulator is providing information and tools to consumers. We want to help you better understand the system that you rely on, and pay for, and help you make informed decisions about energy.
More power to you
The Ontario Energy Board has created rules to protect Ontario’s energy consumers like never before. Find out more about the many ways we are empowering you to manage your energy needs.
Cap and Trade
The Ontario government’s cap and trade program, which is intended to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in the province, came into effect on Jan. 1, 2017 and will impact the monthly bills of natural gas customers across the province.

We’re not the most expensive jurisdiction in North America. Ontarians generally pay higher electricity rates than other Canadians but less than many of our American neighbours including residents of Ohio, Michigan and New York.

Media releases
The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) today announced that electricity prices will go down on July 1. These reductions flow from the government’s Fair Hydro Plan, and apply to different customers in different ways depending on how they buy their electricity.
The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) is warning consumers to beware of telephone and door-to-door sales people claiming to represent the OEB and requesting permission to enter their homes. The OEB does not engage and is not involved in any type of sales activity.
A Consumer Charter that sets out the key rights and responsibilities of Ontario’s residential energy consumers in a single, easily understood document for the first time, was released today by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB).
Electricity consumers across the province should be aware of important changes that start on May 1, including increased support for lower income bill payers and lower time-of-use prices for all consumers.
