Consumers will pay the steepest price for electricity, 13.5 cents kW/h, weekdays between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.
The on-peak power price is up 0.6 cents kW/h.
I wonder how uncomfortable it will be for seniors and disabled people this summer?
The rest of the rates are: — 7.5 cents kW/h, up 0.3 cents — in the overnight weekday hours of 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. and on all weekends and holidays.
The cost to use electricity on weekdays between 7-11 a.m. and 5-7 p.m. will be 11.2 cents kW/h, also an increase of 0.3 cents.
I get they want us to be energy conscious and efficient. WE in this family are. It just feels like they want more profits because people are being "energy conscious" and so they hike again...and again and again. Our family spends about 50-65 a month on hydro, and we find it too much. We restrict usage so much it feels more like a prison than a home. But still the rates climb and we are left holding the bag, restricting further etc.
I am not sure how much more we can restrict, so I'm going to do my part. Come May 1 I will try to be off the hydro during the daytime, using battery only at 1pm to talk to spouse. Then back off till night time. No fan either.
No courses, I wouldn't have the time to devote to them. Busfare in this city is not all that cheap so I won't be going anywhere. I'd just like to know what else Ontario Hydro would love us poor, seniors and disabled to do next.
