The OEB is commencing a proceeding on its own motion to consider the inflation factor to be used to set rates for electricity transmitters and electricity and natural gas distributors for the year 2022.

The OEB has issued a Notice of Proposal to Amend the Distribution System Code regarding connection of distributed energy resources (DERs) to local electricity distribution systems. The proposed amendments, which have been developed based on input from the OEB’s DER Connections Review Working Group, are intended to improve connection timelines and provide clarity and consistency in the process for connecting a generation or storage DER.

The OEB has accepted an Assurance of Voluntary Compliance from Cytec Canada Inc. The Assurance responds to non-compliance related to operation in the wholesale market without a licence.
