The OEB has issued a Notice of Proposal to amend the Distribution System Code. The proposed amendments establish minimum requirements for licensed electricity distributors in communicating with customers when there are widespread power interruptions in a distributor’s service area caused by severe weather. The purpose of these requirements is to provide customers with timely information to help them prepare for and stay safe during extended electrical service interruptions. The OEB invites stakeholders to provide feedback on the proposal by January 17, 2025.
