List of licensed companies

In Ontario, some energy companies require a licence from the Ontario Energy Board. A licence provides energy companies with permission to operate in Ontario, and outlines the laws, rules and regulatory requirements they must follow.

In the electricity sector, most participants require a licence, including: distribution utilities, transmitters, generators, retailers (also known as energy retailers), wholesalers and smart sub-meterers. The OEB also licenses the Independent Electricity System Operator and the Smart Metering Entity. In the natural gas sector, companies that market natural gas to low-volume consumers (also known as natural gas marketers or energy retailers) require a licence.

The OEB's Chief Commissioner, with the approval of the Chief Executive Officer and under the authority of section 6 of the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998, has delegated the power and duty to OEB staff to determine licence applications, subject to the conditions and restrictions set out in the delegations. Visit Corporate governance & reports. Any decisions made by the employee can be appealed to the OEB.

Companies licensed by the OEB must comply with all of the conditions of their licence, including compliance with any of the codes listed in their licences.
