The OEB is launching the OEB Innovation Sandbox, where utilities and other companies in the energy sector can get regulatory advice or seek relief for new ideas, products, services and business models that demonstrate the potential to provide benefit for consumers.
No longer can companies look to lower their energy costs on price alone. New technologies and new sources are becoming economically viable options.
The OEB Innovation Sandbox is designed to help advance innovative projects related to electricity or natural gas service, whether they offer long-term efficiencies, cost savings, customer service improvements or provide consumer value in other ways.
