Customer Choice is an Ontario Energy Board (OEB) initiative that allows customers on the Regulated Price Plan (RPP) to choose the price plan that works best for them.
Effective May 1, 2024, the OEB announced no changes to Time-of-Use (TOU) and Tiered rates. Summer TOU hours and Tiered thresholds began May 1. Customers on the Ultra-Low Overnight price plan are not affected.
Customers currently have three price plan options:
- Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing, which is based on the day of the week and time of day electricity is used.
- Ultra-Low Overnight (ULO) pricing, which is based on the day of the week and time of day electricity is used, but with an ultra-low overnight rate that encourages shifting high electricity-usage activities to lower-demand periods overnight.
- Tiered pricing, which is based on two thresholds of electricity consumption.
