The OEB’s Board of Directors is pleased to announce the appointment of James Sidlofsky to the role of full-time Commissioner effective March 1, 2026. Mr. Sidlofsky joins an existing complement of highly qualified and dedicated Commissioners who work to achieve adjudicative excellence.

The OEB has issued a letter summarizing the outcomes of its initial pilot on intervenor categorization and required collaboration (Item #3 of the OEB’s 10‑Point Action Plan). Feedback from participating parties indicates that coordinated participation can reduce duplicative interrogatories and support a more efficient adjudicative process. Building on these lessons, the OEB will undertake a second pilot as part of Enbridge Gas’s 2027–2030 DSM Proceeding (EB‑2025‑0295). Further details will be provided in Procedural Order No. 1.

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.
