Breakdown of Charges
Electricity Commodity Charges
This is the cost of electricity supplied during the billing period and is calculated on the adjusted kWh used. Enersource collects and passes on this charge directly to our electricity suppliers. If you choose to purchase electricity from an electricity retailer instead of from Enersource Hydro Mississauga, the prices you pay will be different and will be stated in the contract you signed.
Electricity Rates effective May 1, 2010
The Regulated Price Plan prices, set by the Ontario Energy Board, for the electricity commodity are as follows:
- 6.5¢/kWh for the first 600 kWh used per month. (from 5.8¢/kWh)
- 7.5¢/kWh for all kWh used above 600 kWh per month. (from 6.7¢/kWh)
RPP prices are based on a 12-month forecast and are designed to provide stable and predictable electricity pricing as well as ensure the price consumers pay better reflects the price paid to electricity generators.
