In Ontario, there are three rate options that residential and small business customers can choose from. Time-of-use rates,  Tiered rates and Ultra-low overnight (ULO) rates. Time-of-use rates is the default rate.

The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) sets these rates once per year. Rates take effect on November 1 of each year.

Time-of-use (TOU) Pricing:
Under the time-of-use pricing, you pay a different rate for electricity depending on the time of day and day of the week you consume it. TOU has three periods: on-peak (when energy demand and cost is high), mid-peak (when energy demand and cost is moderate) and off-peak (when energy demand and cost is low).

TOU periods (hours) are different in the summer than they are in the winter.

Tiered Pricing:
Customers under tiered rates pay one set rate for the electricity they consume up to a predetermined kilowatt-hour (kWh) threshold each month. Once customers exceed the monthly threshold, they are billed at a higher rate per kWh for all additional electricity consumed in that month.

The threshold changes with the seasons for residential customers:
  • In the summer period (May 1 - October 31), the Tier threshold for residential customers is 600 kWh.
  • In the winter period (November 1 - April 30) the Tier threshold for residential customers is 1000 kWh.
The threshold for small business customers is 750 kWh all year round.

Ultra-Low Overnight (ULO) Pricing:
Similar to TOU rates, with ULO, the price depends on when you use electricity. ULO has an additional price period, a different set of rates and offers an ultra-low overnight rate in exchange for a higher on-peak rate.

With ULO pricing you are charged according to the day of the week and time of day that you use electricity. There are four price periods: on-peak, mid-peak, weekend off-peak, and ultra-low-overnight. The ULO plan sets a very low price for the overnight period, however, the on-peak price is significantly higher.

The ULO periods (hours) are the same in the summer as they are in the winter.
