| Description | The Ontario Energy Board (OEB or "Board") is the regulator of Ontario's natural gas and electricity sectors. The Board also provides advice on energy matters referred to it by the Minister of Energy and the Minister of Natural Resources. On August 1, 2003, with the passage of the Ontario Energy Board Consumer Protection and Governance Act, 2003, the Board became a self-financing Crown corporation without share capital. The Board reports on administrative matters to the Ontario legislature through the Minister of Energy but carries out its functions and responsibilities independently. The OEB operates as an adjudicative tribunal and carries out its regulatory functions through oral or written public hearings and other more informal processes such as panels and committees. These provide a forum for individuals, or groups of individuals who may be affected by the Board's ruling, to express their opinions and participate meaningfully in the Board's decision making process. The public's participation helps ensure that the Board makes an informed decision. | |||
