Remotes 2012 Conditions of Service

The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) allows three rate-setting options for electricity distributors: Price Cap Incentive Rate-setting (Price Cap IR), Custom Incentive Rate-setting (Custom IR), and Annual Incentive Rate-setting Index (Annual IR Index). 

Remotes uses the Price Cap Incentive Rate-setting method to apply for rate approval. This method allows for rate rebasing every five years. In the rate rebasing year, Remotes submits a full Cost of Service application. In between Cost of Service applications, Remotes will apply for a mechanistic increase to electricity distribution rates and other charges (an IRM Application). The OEB examines the rate applications on behalf of the public interest.

Remotes' electricity scorecard, which is accompanied by management discussion and analysis to explain the scorecard, demonstrates how Remotes is performing each year relative to measures determined by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB): Customer Focus, Operational Effectiveness, Public Policy Responsiveness, and Financial Performance.

The Scorecard is designed to encourage electricity distributors to operate effectively, continually seek ways to improve productivity, and focus on improvements that their customers value.

After a major event such as a large-scale outage, Remotes is required to report and file with the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) within 60 days of the occurrence. These reports outline our response to major events.
