Delivery Rates
Your delivery rates will vary depending on your rate classification and the community in which you live. Delivery rates, rate classifications and service type descriptions changed on January 1, 2011. See delivery rates for the rate classifications: Residential, Seasonal, Farm, and Small Business.
On July 13, 2009, Hydro One applied to the Ontario Energy Board to change the rates that it charges for electricity delivery for the years 2010 and 2011. On April 9, 2010, the OEB issued its decision with reasons on this rate application. On December 21, 2010, the OEB approved our application, for rates effective January 1, 2011. Learn more.

Seasonal Price Threshold
On November 1, 2011, the OEB’s Regulated Price Plan (RPP) switches to winter mode. You'll notice the threshold for lower-priced electricity increases to 1,000 kWh per month from 600 kWh per month for residential and most farm customers. The higher threshold recognizes that customers use more electricity for lighting and indoor heating in the winter season. Learn more.
