Time-Of-Use Rates

The Ontario Energy Board has established residential time-of-use rates. Electricity prices charged per kilowatt-hour (kwh) change throughout the day. The different pricing periods of “On-Peak”, “Mid-Peak”, and “Off-Peak” were set based on how the cost to produce electricity in Ontario varies by the time of day, day of the week, and the season.

Day of the Week	Time	Time-of-Use Period	Time-of-Use Price* (cents/kWh)
Weekends & holidays	All day	Off-peak	4.0
Winter Weekdays (Nov 1st - Apr 30th)	7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.	On-peak	8.8
	11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.	Mid-peak	7.2
	5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.	On-peak	8.8
	8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.	Mid-peak	7.2
