Elexicon Energy Inc. has applied to change its electricity distribution rates and other charges effective January 1, 2027.
If the application is approved as filed, a typical residential customer and a typical general service customer of Elexicon Energy Inc. (Elexicon Energy) would see the following monthly increases effective January 1, 2027:
| Customer Class | Veridian Rate Zone | Whitby Rate Zone |
|---|---|---|
| Residential (750 kWh) | $5.95 | $3.61 |
| General Service less than 50kW (2000 kWh) | $9.06 | $0.04 |
Other customers, including businesses, will also be affected. The bill impacts noted above exclude changes to rates resulting from the Ontario Energy Board's (OEB) recent decision on Elexicon Energy's 2026 Incentive Rate-setting Mechanism application (EB-2025-0046). This is the first rebasing application since the amalgamation of Veridian Connections and Whitby Hydro in 2019.
Elexcon energy has also applied for approval:
- Of a custom scorecard and custom rate framework to set distribution rates effective for the period from January 1, 2028 to December 1, 2031. The proposed rate framework is based on a formula that is tied to inflation, supports investment needs, and other factors intended to promote efficiency.
- To harmonize its electricity distribution rates and other charges, retail transmission rates, low voltage rates, loss factors, and specific service charges for the Whitby and Veridian rate zones into a consolidated rate zone.
- To establish new rate riders to dispose of balances in regulatory deferral and variance accounts.
- To establish new deferral and variance accounts.
It’s important to review the application carefully to determine how you may be affected by the proposed changes.

Submit a letter of comment
You can submit a letter of comment that will be considered by the panel deciding the application. Unless the notice states otherwise, your letter of comment will be accepted until the record of the proceeding is closed (which usually occurs with the filing of the applicant’s final reply argument). However, you are encouraged to submit your letter as early in the process as you can. Depending on timing of receipt of letters of comment, the applicant will typically provide a respond to the issues raised in those letters. Your letter will be provided directly to the panel of Commissioners who will be deciding whether the application is approved. The panel will consider your comments in reaching their decision. The panel will only be able to consider comments which relate to issues which are within the authority of the OEB and relevant to the issues being considered by the panel.
