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.
This plan could be beneficial to those who consume a major portion of their electricity overnight, or to those who charge an electric vehicle overnight.
There are four ULO periods:
Ultra-Low Overnight, when demand for electricity is lowest on average. Every day 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.
Weekend Off-peak, when demand for electricity is generally lower.
Mid-peak, when demand for electricity is moderate.
On-peak, when demand for electricity is highest on average.
The ULO periods (hours) are the same in the summer as they are in the winter.
The delivery charge covers the costs of delivering electricity from generating stations across the province to your home or business through high voltage (transmission) and low voltage (distribution) power lines. It includes the costs to build and maintain transmission and distribution lines, towers and poles and to operate provincial and local electricity systems. A portion of these charges are fixed and do not change from month to month. The rest are variable and increase or decrease depending on the amount of electricity that you use. The delivery charge also includes the costs of the electricity lost when it is distributed. It is normal for a small amount of power to be lost as it travels over power lines.
The Regulatory charge reflects the cost of administering the wholesale electricity system and maintaining the reliability of the provincial grid.
HST: Charges on the bill are subject to the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST).
Ontario Electricity Rebate (OER): The Government of Ontario introduced the Ontario Electricity Rebate (OER) under theu00a0Ontario Rebate for Electricity Consumers Act, 2016. The OER provides eligible customers with a rebate on their electricity bill.
