Your new electricity bill
The Ontario Government has issued a
Regulation that requires all electricity distributors to simplify and
standardize the bills they send to residential and small business
customers. The bill has fewer lines
and a new format with four major components.
Electricity
Residential and small
business customers will pay 5.0 cents for the 1st 750 kWh each
month and 5.8 cents for the remaining kWh each month. This is a rate set by the Minister of
Energy. Large business consumers
continue to pay the market price for their electricity or the contract
price if they purchase their electricity from a retailer.
The total amount of electricity
consumed is multiplied by an adjustment factor, previously called the loss
factor. The transmission equipment
consumes this power before it gets to your home or business. Your local utility collects the cost of
this power from consumers through the adjustment factor and passes the
mount directly to its suppliers.
Delivery
This charge is made
up of the following components which are approved by the Ontario Energy
Board:
Distribution Costs
These costs cover the
costs that your local utility incurs in delivering the electricity to your
home. The customer service charge covers administrative costs such as
meter reading, billing, customer service and maintenance of accounts. This is a fixed cost. The
distribution charge includes the cost of building and maintaining the
wires and poles.
Transmission Costs
This component covers
the costs of delivering electricity from the generating station to your
utility along the high-voltage transmission system owned by Hydro One Networks
Inc. The Network Service Charge covers the cost of delivering the
electricity while The Line and
Transformation Connection Service Charge covers the costs your utility
incurs in connecting to Hydro One’s transmission lines.
Debt Retirement
This charge pays down
the residual stranded debt incurred by the former Ontario Hydro. All customers in Ontario will pay this
charge and this is remitted directly to the Ministry of Finance. This varies as to the percent of the load
that was purchased from Ontario Hydro due to local generation.
Regulatory Charges
Wholesale Market Service Charge
This charge covers
the cost of services provided by the Independent Electricity Systems
Operator. The IESO operates
Ontario's competitive electricity market, where electricity is bought and
sold. This charge also includes a
0.1 cent per kWh charge for Rural and Remote Rate Protection, which all
customers pay to offset the higher cost of distributing electricity to
consumers in rural and remote areas of Ontario.
Standard Service Supply Charge
This charge of $0.25
per month covers the administrative costs incurred by your utility in
providing electricity to Standard Supply Service customers. This is a fee regulated by the Ontario
Energy Board.
