UPDATE: HVAC Coalition denied "late intervenor" status

Several weeks ago, Mechanical Business published a story about Hydro One, a major electricity distribution company in Ontario, endorsing three exclusive partners for the sale of an array of residential HVAC and plumbing systems, including heat pumps, in their franchise area.

The matter was brought to the attention of the HVAC Coalition of Ontario by Mechanical Business. As a precautionary measure, the Coalition filed for "late intervenor" status in Hydro One’s rate application hearing, which is currently underway before the Ontario Energy Board (EB-2021-0110).

The OEB has since denied that request and in its response to the HVAC Coalition (referred to as HVAC in OEB correspondence) noted that if it believes "Hydro One’s activity in this regard raises a compliance issue, then HVAC should be addressing this with the OEB’s Consumer Protection & Industry Performance (CPIP) division."
