Electricity Sector
The Electricity Sector in Ontario has gone through major changes since 1997. At that time, Ontario Hydro was responsible for most of the electricity sector in the Province. Simultaneously, the City of Windsor's Windsor Utilities Commission was responsible for distribution in the City of Windsor.
Presently, provincial bodies such as the Ontario Energy Board (www.oeb.gov.on.ca), Independent Electricity System Operator (www.ieso.ca), Ontario Power Authority (www.powerauthority.on.ca), and Electrical Safety Authority (www.esainspection.net) supervise the Electricity Sector. The Ministry of Energy has overall responsibility for the Sector (www.energy.gov.on.ca). More information about the Electricity Sector can be found through these websites.
EnWin Utilities Ltd. is the Local Distribution Company for the City of Windsor. As such, EnWin owns and operates the physical electricity infrastructure in the City of Windsor. EnWin is the default company from which consumers purchase electricity from the provincial grid.
Some customers in the EnWin service area elect to purchase electricity from Retailers. These customers enter into independent contracts with Retailers. EnWin is not a Retailer and does not solicit business from residents through door-to-door, over-the-phone or other methods. The Ontario Energy Board is responsible for regulating Retailers and any questions or concerns about Retailers should be directed to the Ontario Energy Board.
