Northern Ontario Wires 2026 Electricity Rate Adjustment
Official title: 2026 electricity distribution rates, IRM
Northern Ontario Wires Inc. is asking the Ontario Energy Board to approve its electricity distribution rates for 2026. This is a routine annual rate adjustment under the Incentive Rate-Making framework. The OEB will review the application and decide whether to approve the proposed rates.
Why This Matters
If you get your electricity through Northern Ontario Wires, this decision affects your monthly bill. Rate changes typically take effect in January. Even small percentage changes add up over a year of bills.
What Could Change
The OEB could approve, modify, or deny the proposed 2026 rates. If approved, distribution charges on customer bills would change accordingly. The rate generator model shows the specific adjustments being requested.
Key Issues
- Should the proposed 2026 distribution rates be approved?
- Are the revenue-to-cost ratio adjustments appropriate?
How to Participate
- Review the 2026 IRM Application and supporting documents in the case file.
