Electricity Distributor Scorecard
Utility scorecards track and show comprehensive performance information for each electricity utility in Ontario, over a range of time and for a specific year.
Scorecards are important because they provide information that tells if utilities are following the rules and if their performance is improving over time. They’re also a way to be transparent with you about how the energy distribution system overall is performing.
Utility scorecards show data for 20 specific measures within the following four key areas of performance:
- Customer focus
- Operational effectiveness
- Public policy and responsiveness
- Financial performance
