We know you expect us to be efficient in our business and we’ve answered the challenge by offering the lowest residential distribution rates among major GTA hydro companies.

Delivery Charges

Transmission Charge: 1.05¢/kWh

This covers the costs involved in transmitting electricity from generators to the city.

Distribution Charge: 1.09¢/kWh

This covers the cost of delivering electricity to your home as well as designing, building and maintaining the distribution system.

Customer Charge: $12.16

This is a charge for fixed costs that do not change with your consumption, such as meter reading and billing. The customer charge is stated on a 30-day basis. If your billing period is different than 30 days, the customer charge will be prorated accordingly.

Regulatory Charges

Wholesale Market Service: 0.62¢/kWh

This charge covers costs such as market regulation and the management of the system.

Standard Supply Service (SSS) Rate: $0.25

This is an administration charge of $0.25 stated on a 30-day basis. If your billing period is different than 30 days, the SSS will be prorated accordingly. This service charge does not apply to customers that purchase their energy from a retailer.

Adjustment Factor: 1.0360

When electricity is delivered over a power line, it is normal for a small amount of power to be consumed or lost as heat. Equipment, such as wires and transformers, consumes power before it gets to the home or business. The adjustment factor accounts for these losses.

Debt Retirement Charge: 0.7¢/kWh

This charge is to retire the debt of the former Ontario Hydro.
