Historical Electricity Rates Ontario
Historical electricity rates Ontario for residential and small businesses customers under time-of-use (TOU) rates.
Most residential and small business customers are billed their monthly electricity usage using time-of-use rates. Time-of-use rates mean that the price of electricity depends on the time of day that it is being used. There are three different price points for electricity under TOU rates. Off-peak time is when electricity rates are the cheapest, then mid-peak time, and the most expensive rates are during on-peak time.
Ontario electricity prices to rise 52 per cent from 2017 to 2035
The cost of electricity in Ontario for homes and businesses will keep on rising over the next 20 years — albeit not quite as high as once predicted — as the effects of the provincial Liberal government’s plan to lower power bills kick in and then wear off.
The government released an update to its long-term energy plan Thursday, projecting the average monthly residential bill for electricity in Ontario will dip to $127 in 2017 from $158 in 2016, helped by savings from the Liberals’ so-called “Fair Hydro Plan.”
The projections also show, however, that the average power bill will ultimately rise from $127 this year to $193 by 2035, a 52 per cent increase.
