The OEB has published a new cost reporting dashboard as part of Item 7 of its 10-Point Action Plan. The dashboard leverages existing application cost data for electricity distribution cost of service applications and transmission revenue requirement applications and reports on applicant, intervenor and OEB adjudicative costs.
The OEB has posted the electricity distributors' 2026 stretch factor assignments for the 2027 Incentive Rate Mechanism (IRM) rate-setting process. The benchmarking details and assignments are published in the Pacific Economics Group (PEG) "Empirical Research in Support of Incentive Rate-Setting: 2025 Benchmarking Update" Report to the Ontario Energy Board.
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.
