The Ontario Energy Board announced on March 7, 2016 that it will be
updating its filing requirements for natural gas rate
applications.
In October 2012, the OEB issued a Report on a Renewed Regulatory Framework for
Electricity Distributors (RRFE) and, subsequently, the Board
followed up on this initiative with additional guidance for
electricity distributors, including a Report on Rate Setting Parameters and
Benchmarking (December 4, 2013) and a Report on Performance Measurement (March 5,
2014).
The RRFE Report indicated that, in due course, the OEB would
provide further guidance regarding the application of the policies
in the Report to electricity transmitters. Earlier this year, the
OEB updated its filing requirements for electricity transmission
applications and, in doing so, it set out what it called
"the initial steps toward the integration of core RRFE
concepts into the rate application process for
transmitters."
