As Ontario’s independent energy regulator, we develop policy that contributes to a sustainable and reliable energy sector and protects consumers. The Minister of Energy and Mines also calls on us to implement special requirements – called directives – and to provide expert and impartial advice on important policy initiatives.
How we develop new policies
When we develop new policies, we engage energy companies, energy-related agencies, public interest groups and consumers. Some of our practices include:
- Stakeholder meetings, working groups and industry task forces
- Public consultations and meetings with Indigenous Communities
- Review of practices in other provinces or countries
- Research
Active consultations are listed below. Closed/historic consultations can be found in our archive of policy initiatives and consultations.
