January 2026 Electricity Distribution Rate and Halton Region Water and Wastewater Rate Updates
Information About Your Energy Bill
Milton Hydro filed an application (EB-2025-0022) with its regulator, the Ontario Energy Board (OEB), to implement mechanistic adjustments to its distribution rates for rates effective January 1, 2026.
The OEB issued its final Decision and Rate Order on December 11, 2025. Milton Hydro’s request for a 3.70% rate increase is in accordance with the annually updated parameters set by the OEB. The adjustment is approved, and Milton Hydro’s new distribution rate will be effective January 1, 2026. Additionally, as of January 1, 2026, temporary credits in the form of rate riders, and lower RTSR rates will be effective for the 2026 year.
As a result of this Decision and Rate Order, and the updated rate riders and RTSR rates, there will be a monthly total bill increase of $0.04, or 0.02% for a residential customer with a monthly consumption of 750 kWh. This change does not factor in applicable taxes or the Ontario Electricity Rebate.
