The Regulatory Treatment of Infrastructure Investment for Ontario’s Electricity Transmitters and Distributors (EB-2009-0152)
On April 3, 2009, the Chair of the Ontario Energy Board issued a Statement confirming the Board’s commitment to creating conditions that will foster timely and appropriate investment in electricity distribution and transmission infrastructure while ensuring that the interests of ratepayers continue to be protected.
This initiative will consider more innovative approaches to cost recovery for electricity infrastructure projects. Availability of the mechanisms will be associated primarily with investments relating to the accommodation of renewable generation and smart grid development. The cost recovery mechanisms developed through this initiative may also be available in relation to other types of projects in appropriate circumstances.
