The OEB is initiating a consultation to develop a capacity allocation model (CAM) to address issues related to system expansions for connecting housing developments. This initiative builds on the recommendations set out in the OEB’s report to the Minister of Energy and Electrification, which were endorsed by the Minister. A technical advisory group is being established by OEB staff to assist in developing the CAM and rules for its implementation. Stakeholders interested in participating in the advisory group should send a letter to the OEB by December 2, 2024.

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 Ontario Energy Board (OEB) has issued a Notice of Proposal to amend the Distribution System Code (DSC). These proposed amendments are intended to facilitate the connection of housing developments by extending the connection horizon to a maximum of 15 years for qualifying housing developments and extending the revenue horizon to 40 years for all residential customers. The OEB invites stakeholders to provide feedback on the proposal by December 9, 2024.
