Reporting and Record-keeping Requirements (RRR) Consultation

The OEB is gathering feedback on ways to modernize and streamline the RRR.

In fall 2022, the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) launched a consultation to engage stakeholders on the Reporting and Record-keeping Requirements (RRR) for Ontario's licensed electricity distributors. The RRR sets the minimum reporting and record-keeping requirements with which licensees must comply and is an important repository of financial and non-financial data the OEB needs to fulfil its regulatory mandate. The purpose of this consultation is to gather feedback on opportunities to streamline the data collected through RRR, improve the systems used to collect that data and consider new areas of interest for data collection.

This consultation is aligned with the OEB’s 2023-2026 Business Plan and the Minister's October 2022 Letter of Direction which highlight the importance of modernizing and streamlining processes to right-size the RRR.
