The 2024 edition of the Code includes the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, plus several Ontario-specific amendments. This new edition includes changes designed to enhance electrical safety and the public including:
- Enhancing Plan Review requirements to include submission for some electric supply equipment (EVSE) installations, and to include stand-alone electric-power-generating-equipment and systems.
- Revising demand load calculation for single dwellings with EVSE loads.
- Enabling electrification by recognizing other types of energy management systems in addition to electric vehicle energy management system.
- Complete rewrite of the installation requirements of energy storage systems (ESS) at residential occupancies.
- Preventing electrical shock hazards with additional requirements for outdoor receptacles for single dwellings.
- Preventing overloading in the future by requiring labelling of maximum residential load.
- Enhancing bonding requirements for pools and hot tubs to prevent shock hazards
- Permitting insulated conductors within an enclosure when connected to different sources of voltage, with specific conditions.
- Protecting the public with additional GFCI requirements for cords used at midways, carnivals, fairs and festivals.
- Increase in allowable voltages in electric vehicle supply equipment installations.
