Customer Choice – Regulated Price Plans

权力是个人的. 选择符合您需求的管制价格计划(RPP)可以帮助您节省能源成本. Knowing your options can help you plan for your future.

住宅和小型企业用户可以选择或切换三种不同的价格计划:, 分层, 或超低隔夜(ULO).

Regardless of what price plan you choose your eligibility for assistance programs, like the Ontario Electricity Rebate and the Ontario Electricity Support Program, 不会受到影响.

按使用时段

TOU定价计划根据你用电的时间对你的消费适用不同的费率. 有了分时电价，只要有可能，你就可以通过将你的用电转移到较低的电价期来管理你的电力成本. 每个家庭都不一样, 但平均而言, 安大略省家庭在非高峰时段使用了近三分之二的电力.

有三个分时电价周期:

  • Off-峰: When demand for electricity is generally lower.
  • Mid-峰: When demand for electricity is moderate.
  • On-峰: When demand for electricity is generally higher.

People use electricity differently depending on the season, 因此，夏季(5月1日至10月31日)和冬季(11月1日至4月30日)的分时电价周期是不同的。.

分层

分层定价计划对您的消费适用较低的费率，直至某一限额. Once this limit (called a threshold) is reached, a higher rate is applied. 使用分层定价，您可以灵活地在一天中的任何时间以相同的价格使用电力, although that price will change if you exceed the threshold during the month. 住宅客户, 这个门槛在冬季提高，这样家庭就能以更低的价格使用更多的电力.

对于夏季(5月1日至10月31日)的住宅用户，阈值为600kwh, in the winter period (November 1 to April 30) the threshold is 1000 kWh.

For small business customers the threshold is 750 kWh all year round.

超低一夜之间

ULO定价计划类似于TOU定价计划，因为它根据您使用电力的时间对您的消费适用不同的费率. 顾名思义, 超低的隔夜利率对于主要是隔夜用电量的客户来说是理想的.

ULO有四个价格周期:

  • 超低一夜之间: When demand for electricity is lowest on average.
  • Weekend Off-峰: When demand for electricity is generally lower.
  • Mid-峰: When demand for electricity is moderate.
  • On-峰: When demand for electricity is highest on average.

The ULO price periods are the same all year round.

你的消费模式: 你什么时候用电? 如果你是在TOU定价, 看看你的电费账单，看看你在三个分时电价期间分别用了多少电.

季节性的变化: Do you use a different amount of electricity depending on the season? Do you turn on your A/C in the summer after running your furnace all winter?

生活方式 & 日常习惯: 你白天在家工作吗? Do you use an electric vehicle charging station at your home or small business? Would it be easy for you to shift your electricity usage to times of lower demand?

小型企业: How much electricity do you use each month and when do you use it? Does your usage change from season to season? Keep in mind the 分层 threshold for small businesses is 750 kWh all year round.

常见问题(FAQs)

What do TOU, 分层 and ULO prices pay for?

OEB设定了TOU, 分级电价和超低电价是根据对未来12个月向住宅和小型企业客户提供预期用电成本的预测而制定的. The OEB sets prices to recover the same forecast average cost of supply.

OEB设定了TOU, 分层 and ULO prices under the Regulated Price Plan (RPP). The RPP is designed to provide stable pricing, 鼓励节约，并确保消费者支付的电价更好地反映了支付给发电商的电价.

电力公司不得从售电中获利.

How often are TOU, 分层, and ULO prices set?

The OEB typically sets new TOU and 分层 prices for May and November, 这是根据根据“管制价格计划”向住宅和小型企业客户提供他们预期使用的电力所需的成本估算得出的. The ULO prices were first set in May of 2023.

Will I save money by opting out of TOU prices?

如果你从分时电价转换到分级电价，并不能保证你会省钱. 转换的总账单影响将根据你一个月消耗多少电以及白天什么时候消耗电而有所不同.

Will I save money by opting for ULO prices?

There is no guarantee you will save money if you opt for ULO prices. 转换的总账单影响将根据你一个月消耗多少电以及白天什么时候消耗电而有所不同.
