Ontario Energy Board
The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) is the independent regulator of Ontario's electricity and natural gas sectors, licensing and rate-regulating roughly 60 electricity distributors, the province's transmitters, storage and generation licensees, unit sub-meter providers, energy retailers and gas marketers, and Enbridge Gas. It sits above the wires-and-pipes layer of Canada's largest provincial energy market — it does not own assets, does not run the wholesale market (that is IESO) and holds no customer meter data — so everything it publishes is regulatory, rate and utility-performance data rather than consumption data. Its API posture is the sharpest consumer-versus-market split this series has recorded in Canada. On market data it is genuinely open — an Open Data programme launched September 2022 under Ontario's Digital and Data Directive publishes 18 datasets as anonymous, key-free XML, XLSX and GIS files under the Open Government Licence – Ontario, covering every open application before the Board (updated daily), current electricity and natural gas rates, distributor service-territory boundaries, the distributor performance scorecard, consumer complaints, and thirteen Reporting and Record-keeping Requirements (RRR) filings series going back to 2015. On consumer data it publishes nothing at all, because it holds nothing — it is instead the supervisor of the consumer-data mandate. Ontario is the only Canadian jurisdiction with a compulsory energy-data-sharing rule — O. Reg. 633/21 (Energy Data) under the Electricity Act, 1998 required rate-regulated electricity and natural gas utilities to implement Green Button Download My Data and Connect My Data to NAESB REQ.21 ESPI v3.3 by 1 November 2023 — and the OEB is the body that ran the consultation (EB-2021-0183), amended the Retail Settlement Code, collected quarterly progress reports and publishes the implementation status register naming 54 confirmed distributors and 6 extensions. There is no developer portal, no OpenAPI, no API key and no signup — just files, plus an undocumented but live JSON output on the regulatory document search.
Ontario Energy Board is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Ontario Energy Board is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
