Summer electricity rates are being delayed.
While it normally sets the summer rates in May, the Ontario Energy Board says it's deferring its decision on new electricity prices, leading winter time-of-use in place beyond May 1st, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in "extraordinary uncertainty around various aspects of the supply cost and electricity demand estimates" behind the prices.
An Ontario government emergency order on March 24th fixed electricity prices at the off-peak rate of 10.1 cents per kilowatt hour 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but only for 45 days, meaning a return to normal winter rates May 7th, unless it's extended.
