Home > Customers > Residential > Rates and Pricing Residential Customers Rates and Pricing Effective May 1, 2008, the first 600 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity you use each month will be priced at 5.0 cents per kWh. Each kWh you use above 600 kWh per month will be priced at 5.9 cents per kWh. Since November 1, 2005, the seasonal price thresholds have changed twice a year for residential customers to 1,000 kWh per month during the winter season (November 1 to April 30) and 600 kWh per month during the summer season (May 1 to October 31). See details. Electricity is shown separately from Delivery and other industry-related charges. Hydro One passes electricity prices to you with no mark-up or profit. Delivery charges vary according to the classification or type of electric service you have at your residence. Your service classification is based on the customer density in your area: urban, high or normal. Our rates reflect the cost to serve customers in each density classification, which means that rates are higher for customers in less densely populated areas. Look for your service classification on your bill, then locate your rates in the chart below. Metered usage in kilowatt-hours is the amount of electricity you used in kilowatt-hours (kWh). It is calculated by taking the difference in meter readings and multiplied, if applicable, by the multiplier indicated on your meter. Adjusted usage in kilowatt-hours is the amount of electricity
you used in kWh adjusted to cover the line losses in the electricity system
that are not measured by your meter. When electricity is transmitted over
long distances and passes through wires and transformers, it’s normal
for a small amount of power to be used or lost as heat. For example, if
we deliver 1,000 kWh to you, we must purchase a small amount more than
what you use. To determine the amount of electricity we need to buy for
you, we use a calculation called an “adjustment factor.” The
adjustment factor is approved by the Ontario Energy Board and varies according
to your service type. For residential customers, the adjustment factor
is 1.092.
