    North Bay Hydro’s Regulatory Scorecard

    The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) has developed a scorecard for all local distribution companies across the Province as a tool to allow customers to gain a better sense of how well their utility is performing over a 5 year period. Utility scorecards track and show comprehensive performance information for each electricity utility in Ontario, over a range of time and for a specific year.

Regulatory charges are the costs of administering the wholesale electricity system and maintaining the reliability of the provincial grid.

This Decision and Order establishes, effective January 1, 2024, that the WMS rate, including Capacity Based Recovery (CBR), remains unchanged at $0.0045 per kilowatt-hour, and that the RRRP charge increases to $0.0014 per kilowatt-hour from the current level of $0.0007 per kilowatt-hour. As a result, there will be a monthly total bill increase of approximately $0.52 for a residential customer consuming 750 kWh.

These rates appear on the tariffs of rates and charges of all distributors and are reflected under the line item called Regulatory Charges on customers’ bills.
