Electricity Rates
Your electricity bill from Hydro One Brampton will include changes to the delivery
and energy components of your bill. These changes have been approved by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB).
The OEB, responsible for regulating the distribution rates of utilities across the Province, has given approval
to Hydro One Brampton for an adjustment to our rates and charges. These changes will affect the
"Delivery" line of all customer bills, effective May 1, 2010.

Residential Consumers (on the Regulated Pricing Plan)
The Ontario Energy Board recently announced new electricity prices for the summer months, from May 1, 2010 to October 31, 2010.
Residential consumers under the Regulated Price Plan (RPP) will pay 6.5 cents per kilowatt hour for the first 600 kilowatt hours
used in one billing month, and 7.5 cents per kilowatt hour consumed above the 600 kilowatt hour threshold in the same month.
NOTE: Prices will be reviewed by the OEB and may be adjusted every six months.
Visit the website of the Ontario Energy Board for more information on
electricity pricing.
Non-Residential, Small Business and Designated Consumers
The price threshold for all seasons, for non-residential, small business (with a consumption
of up to 250,000 kilowatt-hours) and designated consumers, will remain at 750 kilowatt-hours per month.

For customers using more than 250,000 kWh of electricity per year
Since the beginning of the year, a new adjustment to wholesale prices called a "Provincial Benefit" has appeared on
utility bills. This adjustment accounts for differences between the market price and rates paid to regulated and contracted
generators. The Provincial Benefit is calculated to reflect:
- The difference between the market price and the regulated rate paid to Ontario Power Generation's baseload generating
stations.
- Payments made to suppliers that were awarded contracts through the Ontario government's RFP process.
- The difference between contracted rates paid to Non-Utility Generators and the market price. These costs used to be paid
through the Debt Retirement Charge.
The Provincial Benefit may be a positive or negative number, depending on whether the market price is lower or higher than the
fixed rates. Note the amount that appears on your bill may be different, taking into account the period of time covered in your
bill. For more information visit the website of the Independent Electricity System
Operator; or click on the link
