London Hydro 2026 Electricity Rate Adjustment

Official title: 2026 electricity distribution rates, IRM

open Regulations & Permits Finance & Consumer
London Hydro is asking the Ontario Energy Board to approve new electricity distribution rates for 2026. This is part of the regular rate-setting process that determines how much customers pay for electricity delivery.

Why This Matters

Live in London, Ontario? This decision affects your hydro bill. The distribution charge is a fixed part of what you pay each month, separate from how much electricity you actually use.

What Could Change

The OEB will decide whether to approve London Hydro's proposed rates for 2026. If approved, distribution charges on customer bills could increase or decrease depending on the utility's costs and the incentive rate mechanism formula.

Key Issues

  • What distribution rates should London Hydro charge customers in 2026?
  • Are the utility's proposed costs reasonable under the incentive rate mechanism?
