Ontario Cuts Electricity Rates to Help Workers, Families and Small Businesses
Off-peak rates provide immediate savings as Ontarians spend more time at home while public health measures are in place
The Ontario government is providing 21 days of electricity-rate relief to support families and workers spending more time at home, as well as small businesses, consistent with the length of time the province is in modified Step Two public health measures. As of 12:01 AM today electricity prices are lowered to the off-peak rate of 8.2 cents per kilowatt-hour -- less than half the on-peak rate -- 24 hours per day.
