Electrical & Mechanical Engineering in Pickering.

Elexicon Energy Inc. (Elexicon Energy)

Elexicon's Conditions of Service list the City of Pickering among its service areas and invite customers to confirm service responsibility with Elexicon. Its OEB licence excludes a short list of individual parcels near Pickering's northern and western boundaries from the Veridian Connections Rate Zone, and in April 2026 the OEB approved a service area amendment (EB-2026-0094) under which Hydro One Networks Inc. serves one more property near the northern boundary that lies largely within Elexicon's territory.

Where a connection needs a system expansion, Elexicon issues an Offer to Connect based on an economic evaluation under the OEB's Distribution System Code; a capital contribution is required when the evaluation shows a negative net present value, and work that is eligible for alternative bid may be built by qualified contractors and transferred to Elexicon.

Customers whose loads exceed 3000 kVA (as determined by Elexicon) provide and own their transformation, and must submit transformer specifications such as kVA capacity, short-circuit rating, voltages, configuration, insulation class and cooling details to Elexicon for review and approval before purchasing and installing them.

Before planning a distributed energy resource, Elexicon asks customers to check whether capacity exists at the location, refers them to the capacity map on its website, and encourages a Preliminary Consultation Information Request.

Rate zone: Veridian Rate Zone.

What to prepare

• A written request on Elexicon's Service Request Form (available on its website) for the new, upgraded or temporary service, after consulting Elexicon about supply availability, supply voltage, service location and metering
• Drawings: a scaled site plan placing the building(s) against existing and proposed lot lines, other buildings, streets and driveways and showing gas, telephone, water and cable services, plus an electrical room layout with the metering equipment location
• Electrical data: required service amperage and secondary voltage, service entrance location, estimated initial and maximum kW demand, and a single line diagram with metering provisions and a list of major loads (lighting, motors, cooling, heating, welders), with a Customer Load Summary where it applies
• Project details: civic addresses, the billing customer's name, address and telephone number, and the expected energization date
• To energize: the ESA Connection Authorization, a completed and signed contract for service, any applicable connection charge, and a Connection Agreement where Elexicon asks for one
