Short Version

Bill 40 amends Ontario energy and utilities laws to support economic growth, develop a hydrogen market, enable specified large electricity-consuming facilities to connect to the grid subject to new regulatory conditions, remove municipal referendum requirements for utility franchises, and add economic growth as an objective for Ontario's energy regulator.

What It Means

Bill 40 makes changes to Ontario's electricity, energy, and utilities laws to support economic growth and attract energy-intensive industries. The bill does several key things: It adds "supporting economic growth" as an objective for Ontario's electricity system and the Ontario Energy Board (the regulator). It also adds a new goal to develop a hydrogen market and economy in Ontario for low-carbon hydrogen applications. The bill creates new rules for "specified load facilities"—mainly data centres and other large electricity users that would withdraw significant power. These facilities can be connected to the electricity grid only if they meet specific conditions that regulations will set out. These conditions may relate to economic development, job creation, or other matters. Regulations will define what counts as a data centre and set thresholds for electricity demand. The bill removes the requirement that municipal voters approve by-law decisions about granting utilities the right to use municipal roads. Municipalities will now only need to pass a by-law, without requiring a referendum. This also applies to decisions about extending or renewing gas distribution rights. The bill expands the Ontario Energy Board's authority to approve transmission line projects to include supporting economic growth as a public interest factor. It allows the Board to consider additional reports and documents prescribed by regulation when deciding such applications. The bill allows the Ontario government to make payments directly to electricity transmitters from public funds, and requires the Ontario Energy Board to reduce rates to reflect any such payments made. The bill also makes changes related to procurement restrictions for gas and electricity utilities if a separate bill (Bill 5) receives Royal Assent. Those changes would create special accounts where utilities can track costs of meeting procurement origin requirements. Most changes come into force when Bill 40 receives Royal Assent (December 11, 2025). One provision (about certain regulation-making detail) comes into force on a date to be set by government order.

What This Bill Does

Amends the Electricity Act, 1998 to add 'supporting economic growth in a manner consistent with the policies of the Government of Ontario' as a purpose of Ontario's electricity system
Amends the Electricity Act, 1998 to add facilitating development of a hydrogen market and economy in Ontario as a purpose
Adds a new section 28.1 to the Electricity Act, 1998 that prohibits transmitters and distributors from connecting or reconnecting 'specified load facilities' (primarily data centres and large industrial users) unless specified connection requirements set by regulation are met
Authorizes regulations under the Electricity Act to define 'specified load facilities' based on criteria including electricity demand thresholds, geographic location, and other factors
Authorizes regulations to set specific connection requirements and processes for specified load facilities, which may include conditions related to economic development and job creation
Amends the Electricity Act, 1998 to allow regulations to specify certain payments to generators, distributors, and the Financial Corporation that would not be counted when adjusting charges to market participants and consumers, and instead be paid from government appropriations
Adds a new objective to the Ontario Energy Board that it must regulate electricity in a manner supporting economic growth consistent with government policies
Amends the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998 to add 'supporting economic growth in a manner consistent with the policies of the Government of Ontario' to factors the Board may consider when deciding whether to grant leave for electricity transmission or distribution lines
Requires the Ontario Energy Board to consider reports, documents, or other information prescribed by regulation when deciding applications for transmission or distribution line construction
Adds section 78.3 to the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998 permitting the Minister to make payments to electricity transmitters from government appropriations and requiring the Board to reduce rates to reflect such payments
Adds section 13.1 to the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998 authorizing the Board's chief executive officer to issue internal policies on hearing procedures and timelines
Makes section 28.1 of the Electricity Act, 1998 an enforceable provision under the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998
Provides that non-discriminatory access conditions in transmitter and distributor licences are subject to connection restrictions in section 28.1 of the Electricity Act, 1998
Provides that section 28.1 of the Electricity Act, 1998 and regulations made under it prevail over Ontario Energy Board orders, codes, or licences in case of conflict
Amends the Municipal Franchises Act to remove the requirement that municipal voters assent to by-laws granting public utility franchises, replacing this with a requirement that municipalities simply pass a by-law
Amends the Municipal Franchises Act to expand the Ontario Energy Board's authority to approve applications to renew or extend gas distribution rights to include authority to construct, extend, or add to works, not only to operate them
Amends the Public Utilities Act consequentially to reflect removal of municipal elector assent requirements
Repeals subsection 5(2) of Schedule 1 to the Fixing the Hydro Mess Act, 2019
If Bill 5 receives Royal Assent, amends procurement restriction provisions in the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998 regarding gas transmitters, distributors, and storage companies to permit deferral or variance accounts to track compliance costs

Who Is Affected

Ontario electricity consumers and ratepayers, whose rates may be affected by government payments to transmitters and by funding mechanisms for specified load facilities
Data centres and other large electricity-consuming industrial facilities that meet the definition of 'specified load facilities' and will need to meet specified connection requirements to access the grid
Electricity transmitters and distributors, who must apply connection restrictions to specified load facilities and will have their non-discriminatory access requirements limited accordingly
The Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), whose objects now include supporting economic growth
The Ontario Energy Board, which gains new objectives regarding economic growth and new procedures and factors to consider
Gas distributors, gas transmitters, and storage companies, which are subject to amended procurement restrictions if Bill 5 receives Royal Assent
Municipalities, which no longer need to hold referendums to approve by-laws granting public utility franchises
Utility companies seeking to renew or extend gas distribution franchises, which now have expanded authority through the Ontario Energy Board
The Ontario government and Legislature, which must appropriate funds if the Minister chooses to make payments to transmitters
Gas and electricity licensees (under Ontario Energy Board Act provisions), which would be affected by amended procurement restrictions and deferral account provisions if Bill 5 receives Royal Assent

Rights, Duties, Or Obligations

Transmitters and distributors must not connect or reconnect specified load facilities unless specified connection requirements set by regulation are met
Transmitters and distributors must follow prescribed processes and take prescribed actions if specified connection requirements are not fulfilled or breached after connection
The Ontario Energy Board must reduce electricity rates approved or fixed for transmitters to reflect any government payments made to those transmitters under new section 78.3
The Ontario Energy Board must consider supporting economic growth as a factor when deciding whether to grant leave for electricity transmission or distribution line construction
The Ontario Energy Board must consider prescribed reports, documents, or other information when deciding transmission/distribution line applications
Non-discriminatory access conditions in transmitter and distributor licences are subject to restrictions in section 28.1 of the Electricity Act, 1998
Regulations may specify conditions, requirements, limitations, and approvals for connecting specified load facilities, including criteria related to economic development and job creation
Municipalities may grant utility franchises through by-law only—they no longer need municipal voter assent
The Minister may make discretionary payments to electricity transmitters from government appropriations (if any are available for this purpose)
Gas transmitters, distributors, and storage companies may establish deferral or variance accounts to track costs of complying with procurement restrictions (if Bill 5 receives Royal Assent)

Important Dates

Royal Assent received: December 11, 2025
Schedule 1 (Electricity Act amendments) comes into force: December 11, 2025, except subsection 8(3) which comes into force on a day to be named by order of the Lieutenant Governor in Council
Schedule 2 (Municipal Franchises Act amendments) comes into force: December 11, 2025
Schedule 3 (Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998 amendments) comes into force: December 11, 2025
Section 28.1 of the Electricity Act, 1998 does not apply to specified load facilities for which a connection request was submitted before June 3, 2025
Transitional rule: Ontario Energy Board applications made under section 9 or 10 of the Municipal Franchises Act before Schedule 2 comes into force shall be continued and disposed of under the amended Act

Financial Or Tax Impacts

The Ontario government may spend public money on payments to electricity transmitters, though amounts and timing are discretionary and dependent on government appropriations
Electricity rates for consumers may increase or decrease depending on whether government makes payments to transmitters and how those payments are reflected in rate-setting
Electricity rates must be reduced to the extent the Ontario government makes payments to transmitters
Utilities complying with procurement restrictions (if Bill 5 passes) may incur additional costs, which can be tracked in deferral or variance accounts and potentially recovered through rates

Enforcement Or Penalties

The bill text does not specify penalties or enforcement mechanisms for non-compliance. Section 28.1 of the Electricity Act, 1998 requires transmitters and distributors to follow prescribed processes if specified connection requirements are not fulfilled or breached, but the specific actions and any penalties are to be prescribed by regulation.
Section 28.1 is made an enforceable provision under the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998, meaning the Board has authority to enforce it, but the bill does not detail enforcement procedures
The bill does not specify enforcement mechanisms for compliance with policies issued by the Ontario Energy Board's chief executive officer, though it notes that non-compliance does not affect the validity of actions taken

Uncertainties Or Limits

The specific definition of 'data centre' will be set by future regulation, not in the bill itself
The specific criteria for identifying 'specified load facilities' beyond data centres are to be prescribed by regulation and are not defined in the bill
The exact electricity demand thresholds that trigger 'specified load facility' status are not specified in the bill and will be set by regulation
The specific 'specified connection requirements' and processes for compliance are not detailed in the bill and will be prescribed by regulation
When and how the government will make payments to transmitters under section 78.3 is not specified—it is discretionary and dependent on legislative appropriation
Subsection 8(3) of Schedule 1 (related to regulation-making detail) comes into force on a date to be named by order, meaning its commencement is uncertain
The bill text does not clarify how 'economic growth' should be defined or measured as an objective, leaving interpretation to the Ontario Energy Board and government
The bill does not specify how the Ontario Energy Board should balance the new economic growth objective with its existing objectives (affordability, accessibility, safety, conservation, etc.)
Changes to procurement restrictions apply only if Bill 5 (Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025) receives Royal Assent—the bill is conditional on that separate legislation
The bill does not specify costs or budgetary implications of implementing the new connection requirements and regulatory regime for specified load facilities
The transitional rule in section 28.1(6) excludes facilities with connection requests submitted before June 3, 2025, but it is unclear whether all such requests would be processed under old rules or partially under new rules
