Delivery Rates
Your delivery rates will vary depending on your customer class and the community in which you live:
Residential, Seasonal, Farm, Small Business, or Industrial/LDC.
On July 13, 2009, Hydro One applied to the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) 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 April 29, 2010, the OEB approved our application, for rates effective May 1, 2010. Learn more.

Electricity Prices
The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) has announced new prices for electricity for the 2010 summer season (May 1, 2010 to October 31, 2010). As part of their Regulated Price Plan, the OEB reviews and may adjust electricity prices every six months. For residential, seasonal and most farm customers, the price of electricity is now 6.5 cents per kWh up to 600 kWh/month and 7.5 cents per kWh for any additional usage. Learn more.
Some Hydro One customers with smart meters have already been transitioned to Time-of-Use pricing. Learn more about Time-of-Use prices.

Seasonal Price Threshold
On May 1, 2010, the OEB’s Regulated Price Plan (RPP) switches to summer mode. You'll notice the threshold for lower-priced electricity decreases to 600 kWh per month from 1,000 kWh per month for residential and most farm customers. The lower threshold recognizes that customers use less electricity for lighting and indoor heating in the summer season. Learn more.
