Hydro in Ontario

Just curious, but how many of you guys in Ontario or anywhere in Canada have the smart meters and the pricey daytime hydro rates.
Fark there's NEVER any end to how much hydro goes up and is gonna go up.
There must be plenty of people who are almost unable to afford hydro in their homes I'm sure.
There is a commercial on the tube where the lights goes out while a lady opens a can of food...or something like that.
I'm sure that's closer to the truth than fiction.

A buddy of mine put a few solar panels on his back roof and all hell broke loose. Seems every greedy authority that didn't get cut of the deal was angry. Against this rule against that rule. It was only 4 panels and he told to take em down and then fined. Not in the program of greed.....HALT...or we'll shoot. More detail but that's the bottom line.

Anyway rant over..
The real Q is who's on time of day usage for hydro.....really limit the garden activity.
Also how do you do a 12/12 flip if the rate in the daytime is double that after 7pm.
Do the schwagg merchants only run lights at night?

I think the whole province is now time of use/smart meters.

Not only has power gone up...your paying delivery fees. I paid 230 in delivery on 625 usage.

Delivery fees are their way of making their customers pay off the MASSIVE debt Hydro One has. Fuck passing on the savings, theyve been passing the debt from their shit decisions on to us

Also, not sure if you meant the rates are cheaper after 7pm hippy, as thats always been the case for me. Off eak hours are 7am-7pm. So really its veg thats the bitch of it

Everyone in Ontario has been paying a debt retirement fee for some time...now they charge for delivery on top of that.

Yes same for me 7- 7 is the cheaper time. It sucks that veg has 6 hours of pricey time in it\s 18 hours being on.

Thats what it is, got them confused. They fuck us so many ways its hard to keep track. Besides, its not like they have to do fuck all to deliver the electricity

Even running 7pm-7am the cost is about $100/month per 1k light....ridiculous!
Hydro One is Wynne's personal little money maker! :rolleyes:

Well imo the hydro rate and peoples bills have become disproportionate with reality and peoples income. Everyone I know who is middle class complain bitterly at the price they pay. If it continues to grow at the rates they seem to use...were all sunk.
Fuck I could live with a 1-2 % hike a year. But what it seems to go up is past fair or even reasonable.
That bitch is a bitch...what is she doing to find relief for folks? That's her real job...not finding way to make families suffer unfairly.
I mean WTF else goes up like hydro seems to.

There is some kind of funny business afoot imo that it needs to increase by leaps and bounds every year.
Soon hydro will be a privilege of only the rich.
