Rate Applications

Enova’s electricity rates for customers are set by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) through a public review known as a rate application. At any time, Enova may have one or more applications before the OEB and may be participating in other OEB-sponsored proceedings as well.

2024: EB-2023-0015 Application for 2024 Distribution Rates

Current customer electricity rates are based on the approved applications of the former Kitchener-Wilmot Hydro and Waterloo North Hydro. Please see below for historic rate applications from each of these organizations.

Electricity Distributor Scorecards

The Electricity Distributor Scorecard is a tool that measures how well Ontario’s electricity distributors are performing each year. The scorecard is designed to encourage Ontario’s electricity utilities to operate effectively, continually seek ways to improve productivity and focus on improvements that their customers value.

Enova Power Corp.’s 2022 Scorecard

The scorecard is a key part of the OEB’s Renewed Regulatory Framework for Electricity Distributors – a framework designed to support the cost-effective planning and operation of the electricity distribution network.  For more information on Electricity Distributor Scorecards, visit the Ontario Energy Board.

Please see below for archived versions of the former Kitchener-Wilmot Hydro’s Scorecards. For more information, see the Frequently Asked Questions document.

Major Event Response Reports

Major Events are extraordinary occurrences out of a distributor’s control that cause significant disruptions in the distribution system.

A major event is beyond the control of the distributor and is unforeseeable, unpredictable, unpreventable or unavoidable. Examples are major weather-related events such as ice storms, major floods and tornadoes.

When a distributor determines an outage was caused by a Major Event, it must file a report with the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) that outlines its responses to questions regarding the Major Event. A distributor is required to file this report with the OEB within 60 days of the end of the Major Event and post this report on its website at the same time it is filed with the OEB.

Electricity Supply Mix

In Ontario, electricity is produced from a number of sources. The Electricity Supply Mix, for an electricity product, is the combination of power sources used to generate the product.

The following chart shows the combination of electricity sources used to generate the electricity consumed in Ontario in 2022.

* Source: Ontario Energy Board

Electricity SourceOntario’s Electricity Mix
Nuclear51.0%
Water Power25.1%
Natural Gas*10.2%
Wind9.9%
Solar PV2.5%
Bioenergy0.4%
Other (non-emitting)**0.9%

*Includes Lennox & dual fuel (natural gas/bioenergy) consistent with IESO.

**Non-Contracted represents a variety of fuel types that the IESO is unable to categorize due to a lack of information from Local Distribution Companies (LDCs).

Note: Figures may not add to 100% due to rounding. Figures do not account for the sale and retirement of Clean Energy Credits.

How Does Electricity Get to My Home?

Electricity has become an integral part of our day-to-day lives. One thing you may not realize is just how far electricity travels before it reaches your home.

Check out all of the steps it takes to keep your lights on:

Generation

There are several generation sources used to power energy needs for the province. Supply mix for the provincial electricity grid is determined by Ontario Power Generation and the Independent Electricity System Operator.

Sub-Station

Electricity from the generators is fed through a transformer sub-station that dials up the voltage, so it can efficiently run across transmission lines that cover more than 30,000 km.

Transmission

These transmission lines are the high voltage highway that routes electricity across the province to local electricity distributors. The majority of the transmission lines and towers are owned by Hydro One.

Distribution Stations

Once electricity reaches Enova, your electricity distributor, the voltage is stepped down, so it can travel across smaller power lines.

Enova Power Poles

Next electricity is routed from our transformer station through feeders across our service territory. Each feeder supports a few hundred customers.

Final Transformer

Electricity is stepped down one last time through a final transformer, which can be located above or below ground. Electricity is then fed through your meter at a voltage suitable for your home to use. Each transformer supports roughly a dozen customers.
