Algoma Power 2026 Electricity Rate Increase Application
Official title: 2026 electricity distribution rates, IRM
Algoma Power Inc. has applied to the Ontario Energy Board to change its electricity distribution rates for 2026. The OEB has already issued a decision and rate order in December 2025, approving new rates for customers in the Algoma region of Northern Ontario.
Why This Matters
Live in the Algoma region? Your electricity bill is changing. Algoma Power serves about 12,000 customers in Northern Ontario, including Wawa, Dubreuilville, and surrounding areas. The new rates take effect in 2026.
What Could Change
The OEB has approved new distribution rates for Algoma Power customers starting in 2026. The rate order sets out exactly how much the delivery portion of your electricity bill will change.
Key Issues
- What distribution rates should Algoma Power charge customers in 2026?
- Are the proposed rate adjustments reasonable under the incentive regulation mechanism?
What Happened
The Ontario Energy Board issued a Decision and Rate Order on December 18, 2025, approving Algoma Power's 2026 electricity distribution rates. The proceeding followed the standard incentive regulation mechanism (IRM) process with OEB staff interrogatories and submissions.
