Even within Canada, I suspect that 25_CPS pays double for electricity what Kosmic and I pay ...
That got me curious so I looked it up.
Here in the mess known as the Province of Ontario (...a place too bland, a place to slow, give me a fart to blow... I mean, a place to stand, a place to grow...) we have:
8.2 cents/kWh - off peak
11.3 - mid peak
17.0 - on peak
9.8 cents/kWh - tier 1 up to 600 kWh in summer, 1000 in winter
11.5 cents/kWh - tier 2 above those thresholds
When I moved in here, the spread between off peak and on peak rates was larger and the place had an electric water heater and every time I had to shower before heading to a 4:00-midnight shift, the 3 kW heating element in the thing would be spinning the meter at mid peak or on peak rates depending on season. Unless I tore through it like I was bouncing through a bird bath, it was costing close to a dollar a day for shower water heating alone. And there was no choice about rate structure either, if you had a smart meter, you were on time of use. The only locations on tiered pricing were in places where smart meters couldn't be used and they still had spinning disc hydro meters, so it was a choice between micromanaging everything around different shifts and forking out whatever it cost if that wasn't possible.
I went through 325 kWh in the last billing period which worked out to $31.85. Add $35.50 for delivery. Add $1.56 regulatory. Subtotal of $68.91. Add $8.96 sales tax which brings it to $77.87. Subtract $11.71 "Ontario Electricity Rebate" and that works out to $66.16. Multiply by 100 to convert to cents, then divide by that 325 kWh and I get an all in price of 20.36 cents per kWh in the most recent billing period. That's pretty consistent with what I've gotten the last few times I've sat down and worked through the numbers.
Hydro bills here have been a godforsaken dog's breakfast for decades. With the Ontario Hydro debt retirement charge, the green energy credit, both those scrapped, the rates bouncing up and down like a yoyo whenever the government of the day moves subsidies in and out of the rates vs. a separate line item on bills, you practically need to be a mathematician or spreadsheet wizard to do a proper apples-to-apples comparison of your bills between years sometimes.
