Just in time for the warmer weather, Ontario hydro/electricity companies are changing to Summer Time of Use Rates today.

Instead of winter pricing when peak rates are 7-11am and 5-7pm, those rates will move to mid-peak and the highest rate will be charged from 11am-5pm when air conditioners are using additional power from the grid.  Weekends, holidays and nights starting at 7 remain off peak.

Do you choose to do laundry and other chores that require hydro in off-peak hours?  As you can see from the pricing which comes into effect for Smart Meter users today, there are significant savings for off-peak use.

For those outside of Ontario, do you have time of use rates?
