LHH Knightsbridge Executive Search is partnering with the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) to identify candidates to fill the position of Commissioner. Currently there is a need for multiple Commissioners – full-time and part-time – to replace three Commissioners whose terms are ending and to meet the ongoing needs of this Ontario regulator.
The OEB is the independent regulator of Ontario’s electricity and natural gas sectors, protecting consumers and making decisions that serve the public interest to promote a sustainable and efficient energy sector, for today and tomorrow. The OEB performs its mandate through effective, fair and transparent regulation, including adjudicative proceedings.
COMMISSIONER (FULL-TIME and PART-TIME, THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 2026)
The OEB is committed to ensuring the independence, transparency and effectiveness of the adjudication process that arises from its quasi-judicial role as the regulator of the energy sector in Ontario.
Appointed by the Board of Directors upon the recommendation of the CEO and accountable to the Chief Commissioner for the efficiency, timeliness and dependability of their hearing and determination of matters, Commissioners serve on panels and make independent decisions on applications that come before the OEB and to which they are assigned by the Chief Commissioner. These applications, which include utilities’ requests for approval to change their rates, merge with another utility or build new infrastructure, are decided through a court-like process that involves an oral, written or electronic hearing.
