Ontario Electricity Rates Set To Rise Again On May 1

The Canadian Press, 15 Apr, 2016 12:05 PM
  • Ontario Electricity Rates Set To Rise Again On May 1
TORONTO — Electricity rates are going up again in Ontario, just in time for the longer summer days.
 
Time-of-use electricity prices will jump half-a-cent to 18 cents a kilowatt hour for peak periods, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, starting May 1.
 
The rates are up slightly less for mid-peak periods — between 7 and 11 a.m. and 5 to 7 p.m. — at 13.2 cents a kwh.
 
Off peak rates — in effect from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. and all day weekends and holidays — are up less than half a cent to 7.7 cents a kwh.
 
The Ontario Energy Board estimates the changes will add about $3.13 a month to the electricity line on the average monthly hydro bill for a household using 750 kwh a month.
 
The board sets rates every six months, and adjusts the hours for peak and off-peak periods, with changes every May 1 and Nov. 1.
