Should Elexicon Energy's 2026 Electricity Rates Be Approved?
Official title: 2026 electricity distribution rates, IRM
Elexicon Energy, which serves parts of the Greater Toronto Area and eastern Ontario, is asking the Ontario Energy Board to approve its electricity distribution rates for 2026. This is part of the utility's regular rate-setting process under the Incentive Regulation Mechanism. Consumer groups and other parties have filed submissions weighing in on the proposed rates.
Why This Matters
If you get your electricity from Elexicon Energy, this decision affects your monthly bill. The utility serves communities including Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Belleville, and surrounding areas. Rate changes approved here will show up on your electricity bill starting in 2026.
What Could Change
The Ontario Energy Board will decide whether to approve, modify, or reject Elexicon's proposed 2026 rates. If approved, the distribution portion of electricity bills for Elexicon customers could increase. The decision may also address capital investments the utility wants to recover through rates.
Key Issues
- What distribution rates should Elexicon Energy charge in 2026?
- Should capital investments be recovered through customer rates?
- Are the proposed rate adjustments reasonable under the Incentive Regulation Mechanism?
How to Participate
- Review the rate application and public notice to understand what Elexicon is proposing.
- Review submissions from consumer groups like VECC and CCC to see what issues have been raised.
