Licence Amendments
If a licensee is seeking an amendment to its licence, the licensee must submit a written request for the amendment addressed to the Board Secretary that includes the following information:
- a detailed description of the amendment;
- reason(s) for the amendment/application; and
- supporting documents (e.g., for a name change provide articles of amendment and/or certificate of amendment).
If you wish to have the proceeding disposed of without a hearing, you must request this in writing by referring to the test set out in section 21(4)(b) of the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998. You must consent to disposing of the proceeding without a hearing and you must demonstrate that no other person will be adversely affected in a material way by the outcome of the proceeding.
Anytime you make a licence amendment, please update the following applicable information with respect to your application:
- any change of address for the licensee;
- any change in contact name for the licensee;
- any change to the directors and/or officers of the licensee;
- if there is a change to the officers and/or directors, please complete and submit key individual forms for the new officers and/or directors (see the licence application for these forms);
- with electricity retailer, smart sub-meterer and gas marketer licence amendment applications, please also submit two pieces of identification, one must include a photo;
- any change in organizational structure; and
- organizational charts before and after the change (if applicable).
Please note that for some amendments, there is additional information that the Board typically requires. By filing such information with your application, the processing of your application can be expedited.
