The OEB has updated its Handbook to Electricity Distributor and Transmitter Consolidations: Rate-making Considerations and Filing Requirements for Consolidation Applications. The 2024 Handbook reflects updates on OEB policies and filing requirements applicable to consolidations as well as rate-making considerations, accounting and other matters related to consolidating utilities.
Application of these policies will create a more predictable regulatory environment for applicants that are considering consolidation, thereby facilitating planning and decision-making, while assisting applicants in determining the value of consolidation transactions.
