The OEB is sharing template opt-in forms, a record-keeping template and communication materials to support electricity distributors implementing the Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Rate, which aims to support the efficient integration of EVs in Ontario.
The OEB has issued an Accounting Order for the establishment of a deferral account to record impacts arising from implementing the Electric Vehicle Charging Rate.
The OEB has released its final report on the design of the Electric Vehicle Charging Rate (EVC Rate).
The OEB is inviting written comments on a revised proposal for its Electric Vehicle Charging Rate (EVC Rate), which aims to further facilitate the integration of EV charging stations with the electricity system. Comments are due January 31, 2025.
On March 12, the OEB launched two surveys focused on Distribution System Capacity Information Sharing. One survey is directed at distributors, while the other targets EV charging service providers and other stakeholders. The summary of the survey results can be accessed through the link below:
The OEB has posted a summary Q/A document following the June 13, 2024, stakeholder meeting.

The OEB is now sharing its proposal for an EV charging rate and materials to support the June 13, 2024, stakeholder meeting and subsequent written feedback that stakeholders are encouraged to submit.
The OEB invites written comment on the proposal by June 27, 2024. Steps to file written feedback using the OEB’s online filing portal were provided in the May 1, 2024, letter.
To better support the efficient integration of EVs in Ontario, the OEB is proposing a new delivery rate for public EV charging stations with low load factors. The OEB invites stakeholders to a meeting next month to discuss the proposal.
27 Mar 2024
The OEB has issued the final Notice of Amendments to the Distribution System Code regarding the connection of non-residential electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. The amendments establish the requirement for licensed electricity distributors to follow a standardized and streamlined process (the EVCCP) for connecting non-residential EV charging infrastructure that requires modifications or additions to the distributor's distribution system. These amendments will come into force on May 27, 2024.
Today, a survey has been posted to gather insights from distributors, electric vehicle charging service providers and other interested stakeholders regarding the potential benefits and mechanisms for providing publicly available capacity information about the distribution system, in alignment with the Letter of Direction(External link) we received from the Minister of Energy.

We encourage you to complete the survey by April 5, 2024. Please ensure only one survey is completed by your organization. All individual responses will be kept confidential. Aggregated data by industry sector will be provided to the DER Connections Review Working Group and may be included in any future reporting on this initiative.
