| Due to the deregulation of the Ontario Electricity Industry, the Ontario government has legislated changes requiring new bills to be unbundled. This new billing method allows customers to easily identify the various sources of electricity charges and compare them with other offers. As a result, your new electricity bill will feature a number of lines displaying specific charges formerly included in a one-charge method. | |
A glossary of terms of the new unbundled charges are displayed at the bottom of this page. Click here to go directly to this glossary. |
