Ontario Energy Board updates provincial Transmission Framework
AI Article Summary
The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) has updated the province’s Transmission Framework to enhance reliability and power quality. Changes include new reporting and recordkeeping requirements and a consultation on potential adjustments to power quality standards.

These measures are intended to improve service for customers across Ontario.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors

This could impact project timelines as contractors will need to comply with new documentation and standards revisions. It may also influence supply chains with an increased focus on quality materials to meet these new requirements.
