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.

The OEB has selected five projects to receive just over $1.2 million as part of its Innovation Sandbox Challenge: Empowering Indigenous Innovation and Leadership.

The OEB is releasing draft revisions proposed for Phase Two of the Benefit Cost Analysis Framework for Addressing Electricity System Needs (BCA Framework). The BCA Framework supports electricity distributors in assessing the economic feasibility of non-wires solutions to meet distribution system needs. These revisions aim to further enable cost-effective and innovative approaches that can help support Ontario’s economic growth. Registered participants are invited to submit written feedback on the draft revisions by March 6, 2026.
