Time of Use - effective May 1, 2012

The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) has established Time-Of-Use rates for customers with smart meters. Time-Of-Use periods will vary depending on the time of day, the day of the week, and the month of the year (summer or winter). When Time-Of-Use pricing is introduced, the combination of a smart meter and a 'smart' price plan means that customer will have an incentive and the ability to control their energy costs by moving usage to off-peak periods (for example running the dishwasher at night) or lowering energy use during peak periods (such as setting the air-conditioning a few degrees warmer during the afternoon).


There are 3 time-of-use periods:
On-peak

demand is highest

11.7¢ per kWh

Mid-peak

demand is moderate

10.0¢ per kWh

Off-peak

demand is lowest

6.5¢ per kWh
Weekends and holidays are off-peak during both the Winter and Summer periods
