Winter TOU periods and prices are in effect from November 1st to April 30th.

The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) sets the province’s prices for electricity under the Regulated Price Plan (RPP)* and develops the daily and seasonal TOU periods. With TOU pricing electricity prices vary, based on when it is used. That includes by time of day, by day of week (weekdays versus weekends), and by season (winter or summer). TOU prices provide customers with a new way to manage electricity costs, reduce strain on the electricity system and help the environment.

*NOTE: For electricity customers on a fixed-term contract with an electricity retailer, TOU prices do not apply.
