Electrical Safety

We understand that our farm customers have unique requirements for using and managing electricity. In addition to a house, most farms have one or more barns, and many have heavy machinery and heating and cooling systems that rely on electricity.

Look here for helpful information about your bill and the payment options you have.

Your bill explained
Hydro One Networks, like all Ontario distributors, provides you a bill with unbundled charges. Electricity is shown separately from Delivery and other industry-related charges, which we’re required to pass on to you, whether or not they originate from us.

Understanding how you are billed
Knowing how you are billed will help you understand your rates and charges, and will assist you in reading your bill. Your bill is calculated around two main factors: how much electricity you typically use in a month and your meter setup. Based on these, you will fall into one of two categories:

a. For customers who typically use less than 50 kW (kilowatts) on average per month and are set up with a standard meter(s) capable of measuring kWh (kilowatt hours).

or

b. For customers who typically use more than 50 kW (kilowatts) on average per month and are set up with a meter(s) capable of measuring both kWh (kilowatt hours) and kW (kilowatts).

If you’re not sure of how you are billed, here’s an easy way to figure it out. Take a look at the “Your new charges” section of your bill to see your meter calculation. If that calculation contains references to kWh (kilowatt hours), you fall under “kWh.” If it contains references to both kWh and kW (kilowatts), then you are billed as a “kWh and kW” customer.

For more details about your meter type and how it affects the type of bill you receive, see Your Bill Explained.
