What's New

The OEB has issued the final Phase One Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA) Framework for Addressing Electricity System Needs, integrating stakeholder feedback from the draft Phase One BCA Framework. This Framework will advance guidance, methodologies, and tools to assist electricity distributors in identifying the full distribution-level impacts of non-wires solutions.

The OEB has published three new Interactive Dashboards, in addition to the Interactive System Reliability Dashboard initially introduced in 2023. These dashboards provide visually accessible information using Reporting and Record keeping Requirement (RRR) data, showcasing industry insights and the OEB's dedication to fostering innovation and enhancing energy sector performance. They offer stakeholders a comprehensive view of industry trends, distributor performance, customizable data visualization, and a convenient performance comparison tool.

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.
