We promised the people of Ontario that we would lower their hydro rates and that started by addressing leadership at Hydro One. I was pleased to learn this afternoon that the CEO and all board members will be resigning.

Pricing Plans
Quick-ramping critical peak pricing (CPP) – provides customers with a 1 hour critical peak pricing window under 15 minutes advanced notice between 4pm and 9pm. Customers received a discounted off-peak rate and standard TOU time periods
Variable peak pricing (Dynamic) – A two-period price plan that features an on peak price (effective 3pm-9pm weekdays) that varies with system conditions – low, medium, high or critical peak.
Enhanced TOU with low overnight (Overnight) – An additional off-peak lower-priced period from 12am to 6am, coupled with higher mid- and on-peak rates with standard TOU time periods
Enhanced TOU (Enhanced) – 4:1 on-to-off-peak differential; time periods unchanged relative to status-quo TOU rates
Super-peak TOU– 3-period model with 4:1 super-to-off-peak ratio June through August (off-peak 7pm to 7am; on-peak 7am to 1pm; super-peak 1pm to 7pm); 2-period rate September through May (off-peak 7pm to 7am; on-peak 7am to 7pm)
Seasonal TOU with CPP – 2-period model June through August and December through February (off-peak 7pm to 7am; on- peak 7am to 7pm); flat rate for the remaining six months of the year; 20 CPP events scheduled throughout the year between 4pm and 9pm
All price plans charge off-peak prices on weekends and holidays Non-price Tools
Real-time information application (RT) – Allows customers to use a smartphone application to monitor their electricity consumption in real-time and turn off appliances in their homes remotely
Behavioural communications provided through bill inserts (Nudge reports) – Provides customers with on-peak electricity consumption feedback relative to historical benchmarks, as well as specific recommendations for how households can alter their behaviour to reduce on-peak usage
Thermostats – Examines the impacts of thermostats as enabling technologies
Smartphone application and web portal engagement platform – Provides personalized insights, recommendations and tools for managing electricity usage
