Official title: 2026 electricity distribution rates, IRM
Hearst Power Distribution Company is asking the Ontario Energy Board to approve new electricity rates for 2026. This is a routine annual rate 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 OEB will decide whether to approve Hearst Power's proposed 2026 rates. If approved, residential and business customers in the Hearst service area will see their distribution charges adjusted starting in 2026.
