The Ontario Energy Board (OEB), at the request of the Minister of Energy,
developed an electricity price plan known as the Regulated Price Plan (RPP). The
RPP is designed to ensure that the price consumers pay for electricity better
reflects the price paid to electricity generators. RPP applies to residential
consumers, small businesses and other designated consumers such as
municipalities, schools, universities and hospitals. It does not, however, apply
to large commercial customers using more than 250,000 kWh per year. Large volume
commercial or industrial consumers will continue to pay the Hourly Ontario
Energy Price (HOEP) or spot market price delivered through Standard Supply
Service. The OEB has developed a series of fact sheets to help residential
consumers, small businesses and others who are considered low volume users of
electricity learn more about the province’s electricity sector and their options
for buying electricity.

Ontario Electricity Rebate (OER)

The Ontario Electricity Rebate (OER) is for most households, farms, long-term care homes and small businesses. The government introduced the OER in November 2019 to help keep bills low and show Ontarians the true cost of electricity. Eligible consumers automatically receive the rebate, which appears on bills as a separate line item.

Starting January 1, 2021, the OER will provide eligible consumers with a 21.2% rebate from the province on the subtotal of their electricity bill. This means the average residential bill will not go up compared to November 2020.

Consumers that are currently receiving the OER under the grandfathering regulatory provisions will continue to receive the rebate until April 30, 2021. Consumers that have been grandfathered include those that were previously receiving the 8% Ontario Rebate for Electricity Consumers as of October 22, 2020 but are not eligible for the OER, if they met requirements to provide notice to their utility before February 1, 2020. The grandfathering period was previously slated to end on October 31, 2020.

Delivery Charges

Delivery Charges includes those charges previously known as Customer Fixed
Monthly Service Charge, Distribution Charge, Transmission Connection Service

province to Westario Power then to your home or business.  This includes the
costs to build and maintain the transmission and distribution lines, towers and
poles and operate provincial and local electricity system.

Security Deposit Requirements

The Distribution System Code, Section 2.4.9 provides Local Distribution

homeowners/tenants/commercial entities. A distributor may use any risk
mitigation options available to manage customer non-payment risk. A distributor
shall not discriminate among customers with similar risk profiles or risk
related factors except where expressly permitted under the Distribution System
Code.
