Cameron McKenzie
Director, Regulatory Affairs (Retired), Milton Hydro

"I hired Dan in 1995 as the Accounting Supervisor at Stoney Creek Hydro. With the amalgamation of the City of Hamilton, Dan moved with me to Hamilton Hydro as Manager, Rates & PBR. Over time, as mergers and amalgamations reshaped the electricity industry, we both moved on to other utilities, and Dan eventually joined the Ontario Energy Board (“OEB”).

Years later, when I retired as Director, Regulatory Affairs at Milton Hydro in 2020, Dan was chosen to succeed me, a testament to the trust, knowledge, and respect he has earned throughout his career.

Dan’s knowledge of Regulatory Accounting is second to none. He has implemented and trained staff on all aspects of Regulatory Accounting and OEB reporting requirements. He has also been deeply involved in the preparation and coordination of Electricity Distributor’s Cost of Service Rate Applications, including taking the lead on supporting and defending applications before the OEB and intervenors.

I would not hesitate to recommend Dan to any electricity distributor seeking assistance with financial reporting, planning, cost of service preparation, advisory support, evidentiary materials, or expert witness testimony. Dan is honest, upfront, and demonstrates outstanding integrity."
