Alectra Utilities has applied to the Ontario Energy Board with a plan to set the amount it charges for electricity distribution in each of the five years beginning on January 1, 2027 and ending on December 31, 2031, while harmonizing electricity distribution rates and other charges for all legacy rate zones into a single Alectra Utilities-wide rate zone.
Alectra Utilities is also applying to clear several deferral and variance accounts by rate riders in each of these years. As part of this application, Alectra Utilities has proposed a rate-setting formula and related elements that would set its distribution rates over this period. In subsequent rate applications, this formula would adjust the distribution rates for the 2028 to 2031 period according to inflation and the other elements of that formula.
If the application is approved as filed, the amount Alectra Utilities charges for the typical residential customer using 750 kWh per month and for the typical General Service <50kW customer using 2,000 kWh per month would change in 2027 by the following amounts (click on the region you live in to see how the proposed changes will impact you):
