Ontario Electricity Rebate (OER)
The Ontario Electricity Rebate (OER) is an on-bill credit to eligible consumers including residential customers, small business and farms. The Government of Ontario has announced the OER will be changing from 18.9% to 17.0% effective November1, 2021.
About TOU and Tiered Pricing under the RPP
RPP prices are set based on a forecast of how much it will cost to supply RPP customers with the electricity they are expected to use over the next 12 months. Any variance between forecast and actual costs, whether a surplus or shortfall, is factored into the next price-setting. Prices are going down due to a surplus that has accumulated.
TOU and Tiered prices are set so that both recover the same forecast average cost of supply for a typical customer.
