Centre Wellington Hydro 2026 Electricity Rate Adjustment
Official title: 2026 electricity distribution rates, IRM
Centre Wellington Hydro is asking the Ontario Energy Board to approve new electricity distribution rates for 2026. This is a routine annual rate adjustment under the Incentive Rate-setting Mechanism (IRM). The utility serves customers in the Centre Wellington area, including Fergus and Elora.
Why This Matters

What Could Change
The OEB will decide whether to approve the proposed 2026 distribution rates. If approved, your electricity delivery charges could increase or decrease depending on the rate model. The decision will also address any capital investments the utility wants to recover through rates.
Key Issues

- Are the utility's capital investments reasonable to include in rates?
