The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) serves as the independent regulator for Ontario’s electricity and natural gas sectors, playing a crucial role in ensuring a stable and equitable energy landscape for the province. The OEB's primary mandate is to protect the interests of consumers and deliver public value, contributing significantly to Ontario's economic, social, and environmental development. The organization aims to establish itself as a globally recognized, top-tier regulatory agency, driven by a passion for environmental stewardship and a commitment to fostering innovation within the energy sector.

In its regulatory capacity, the OEB oversees all aspects of Ontario’s energy companies and the broader energy market. This includes managing applications for licenses and rates, conducting consultations on policy initiatives, establishing regulatory rules and documents, and facilitating robust stakeholder engagement. The OEB also provides comprehensive consumer information, addressing topics such as electricity and natural gas rates, bill assistance programs, and consumer protection measures, including information on Green Button, net metering, and electric vehicles.

Beyond consumer advocacy, the OEB actively monitors the performance of the energy sector, maintaining a list of licensed companies, assessing utility performance through scorecards and interactive dashboards, and conducting market surveillance. The board's work ensures the safeguarding of Ontario's energy system while supporting its evolution and sustainability. Through its diverse, driven, transparent, and thoughtful team, the OEB remains accountable to the public, the energy sector, and the customers it serves, reinforcing Ontario’s energy future.
