2026 Electricity Rate Adjustment for Northern Ontario Wires Inc.
Official title: 2026 electricity distribution rates, IRM
Northern Ontario Wires Inc. is asking the Ontario Energy Board to approve its 2026 electricity distribution rates. This is a routine annual rate adjustment under the Incentive Rate-Making framework. The OEB will review whether the proposed rates are fair for customers in the utility's service area.
Why This Matters
Get your electricity from Northern Ontario Wires? This decision affects your monthly bill. Rate adjustments determine how much you pay for delivery charges—the portion of your bill that covers poles, wires, and maintenance.
What Could Change
The OEB could approve, modify, or deny the proposed 2026 rates. If approved, customers would see new delivery charges on their bills starting in 2026. The rate generator model and revenue-cost ratio adjustments will determine the final amounts.
Key Issues
- Are the proposed 2026 distribution rates fair and reasonable?
