Ontario Hydro rates going up May 1
Hydro rates going up May 1
TORONTO - Ontario electricity prices are on their way up again.
As of May 1, there will be an increase in time-of-use prices that will boost the average hydro customer’s monthly cost by $2.83, or $33.96 annually.
The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) says the jolt upwards in prices includes the arrival of renewable or “green” electricity generation over the next 12 months.

Not sure what exact impact will be for those of us whose cottages are "non-residential" (I forget the exact category) plans but I think it will be higher

An Update from Hydro One
An Update from Hydro One
In early 2011, FOCA wrote to the President/CEO of Hydro One Inc., outlining our concerns about the higher costs of the “seasonal” rate class which is applied to the property of many of our members. With changing demographics, many “cottagers” are making their cottages their permanent residence. So, seasonal customers are often next door to a permanent resident and paying delivery charges significantly higher than their neighbour.
Why are my seasonal rates higher than year-round residential rates?
In July, Hydro One provided a written response that we have posted to the FOCA website: www.foca.on.ca/rural- services.
In accordance with government regulation, rural year- round residential customers receive cost relief as part of the monthly Rural and Remote Rate Protection subsidy. Without this subsidy, delivery rates for serving rural year-round residential customers would on average be higher.
Why does Hydro One have seasonal rates?

In addition, Hydro One has provided the following Q&A
on the subject:
Why does Hydro One have seasonal rates?
Delivery rates are developed using the Ontario Energy
Board’s (OEB) approved cost allocation model, which allo-
cates the costs to serve across the various rate classes
(residential, seasonal, general service, etc.) served by
Hydro One.”
“Unlike other utilities, we serve a large number of seasonal
customers. A seasonal customer is someone who owns a
residential property, in addition to their primary residence,
typically in a rural or remote location. Our seasonal rate
class allows us to recover the costs associated with deliv-
ering electricity to these customers.”
