  • This Act in Ontario aims to amend the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998 to improve certain Board proceedings and related matters.

They plan to build 1.5 million homes by 2031 and ensure a diverse energy mix for reliable and affordable energy. The Act introduces changes to processes for stakeholder input in the electricity and gas industries, as well as directives for holding hearings on natural gas and electricity matters. It also addresses revenue horizons for natural gas connections and exemptions from certain requirements. Additionally, it allows for directives on applications for natural gas lines and outlines procedures for Board orders.
