What's New

The OEB has issued the Non-Wires Solutions Guidelines for Electricity Distributors (NWS Guidelines). The NWS Guidelines replace the Conservation and Demand Management (CDM) Guidelines and provide OEB guidance on the role of non-wires solutions for rate-regulated electricity distributors. The change in name reflects the fact that non-wires solutions to address system needs can encompass a broader range of solutions than traditional conservation and demand management, including, but not limited to, third-party distributed energy resources such as energy storage and distributed generation.

The OEB has published materials from its February 2024 Webinar and Q&A Session on OEB’s Accounting Order (003-2023) for the Establishment of a Deferral Account to Record Incremental Cloud Computing Arrangement Implementation Costs. The materials include responses to questions received during the session.

As part of its ongoing Reliability and Power Quality Review consultation, the OEB has developed a Guide to Addressing Electricity Distribution Power Quality Issues. The Guide is intended to enhance transparency and consistency by fostering a uniform approach for addressing power quality issues across Ontario.
