OEB Changes Electricity Prices for Households and Small Businesses – November 1, 2022

October 24, 2022

The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) announced today that electricity prices for households and small businesses will be lowered as of November 1, 2022 under the Regulated Price Plan (RPP). The winter Time-of-Use (TOU) hours and the change in the threshold for residential customers on Tiered pricing will take effect November 1 as usual. Also, effective November 1, 2022, the Ontario government’s Ontario Electricity Rebate (OER) will be changed to 11.7%. The OER is a pre-tax credit that appears at the bottom of electricity bills. For a typical residential customer who uses 700 kWh of electricity per month, the OER would decrease bills by about $13.91 each month. More details are available on the OEB website.
