Bluewater Power 2026 Electricity Rate Adjustment (EB-2025-0052)
Official title: 2026 electricity distribution rates, IRM
Bluewater Power Distribution Corporation is asking the Ontario Energy Board to approve its 2026 electricity rates. 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.
Why This Matters
If you get your electricity from Bluewater Power in the Sarnia area, this decision affects your monthly bill. Rate changes typically take effect May 1st. Even small percentage changes add up over a year.
What Could Change
The OEB will approve, modify, or deny the proposed rate adjustment. If approved, Bluewater Power customers would see new distribution charges on their bills starting in 2026. The utility is also requesting approval for commodity account adjustments.
Key Issues
- Should the proposed 2026 distribution rates be approved?
- Are the commodity account adjustments appropriate?
How to Participate
- Review the 2026 IRM Application to understand the proposed rate changes.
- View all case documents including staff questions and utility responses.
