The OEB has issued a letter providing an update on the implementation of three key initiatives identified in its 10-Point Action Plan – Item #1 (Limiting the scope and number of intervenors in priority facility projects), Item #4 (Exploring options to minimize duplication in interrogatories) and Item #8 (Continuing to actively adjudicate). Together, these updates aim to improve regulatory efficiency and ensure meaningful stakeholder involvement in OEB proceedings.

The OEB has published the 2026 Quarter 1 prescribed accounting interest rates applicable to the carrying charges of deferral, variance and construction work in progress (CWIP) accounts of natural gas utilities, electricity distributors and other rate-regulated entities.

The OEB is launching a consultation to set a framework to facilitate the sharing of natural gas and electricity planning information to support energy planning processes. This work will strengthen energy planning, making it more responsive to economic growth and supportive of affordability.
