Time-Of-Use (TOU) Customer Choice Choosing Your Electricity Price Plan If you are a residential or small business customer that pays Time-of-Use (TOU) electricity prices, you can choose to switch to Tiered prices beginning November 1, 2020.... With TOU, the price you pay depends on when you use electricity. With Tiered prices, you can use a certain amount of electricity each month at a lower price. Once that limit is exceeded, a higher price applies. If you want to continue paying TOU prices, no action is required. If you would like to learn more about your pricing options, visit www.oeb.ca/choice. To switch from TOU to Tiered prices, you must notify us by completing an election form. We will begin accepting election forms on October 13, 2020. There is no deadline. You can ask to switch at any time. Election forms are available on our website or by emailing [email protected]. http://www.chapleau.ca//TimeOfUseTOUCustomerChoiceChoosing

OEB looking for input on tiered electricity pricing The Ontario Energy Board is looking for input as they develop rules to allow electricity customers to opt out of time-of-use pricing in favour of tiered pricing on November 1st. The OEB says under tiered prices, a customer can use a certain amount of electricity each month at a lower price.... Once that limit is exceeded, the price goes up. Time-of-use offers different rates for different parts of the day, with cheaper rates during mid and off-peak times. Officials say tiered pricing gives consumers the flexibility to use electricity at any time of day at a fixed price while still encouraging conservation. Right now the fixed COVID-19 Recovery Rate is in place until October 31st. You can find the OEB survey HERE: https://t.co/j2OHQm7WQd?amp=1

Power is restored. If you're still having issues please call 705-864-0111.

In order to perform repairs, all customers from NAPA to the OPP station will experience a power outage for approximately 30 minutes. We apologize for the inconvenience.
