Hearst Power 2026 Electricity Rate Adjustment (EB-2025-0033)
Official title: 2026 electricity distribution rates, IRM
Hearst Power Distribution Company is asking the Ontario Energy Board to approve its electricity rates for 2026. This is a routine annual adjustment under the Incentive Rate-setting Mechanism (IRM), which allows utilities to adjust rates based on inflation and other factors without a full rate hearing.

What Could Change
The Ontario Energy Board will approve, modify, or deny the proposed 2026 distribution rates. If approved, Hearst Power customers will see the new rates reflected on their bills starting in 2026.
Key Issues
