Starting November 1, 2025, new electricity pricing from the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) will come into effect across Ontario.
These changes will affect the the ‘Electricity’ line of your bill and will have no impact on ‘Delivery’ or ‘Regulatory’ charges. To learn more about the charges that make up your monthly electricity bill, visit our Understanding Your Bill page.
Alongside the OEB’s rate changes, November 1 will mark the shift to the Winter Schedule for customers on the Time-of-Use (TOU), Tiered, and Ultra-Low Overnight (ULO) pricing plans.
The Winter Schedule will remain in effect until May 1, 2026 when customers will see the return of the summer pricing schedule.
New RPP rates and usage schedules for each pricing plan are outlined in the following charts:

Ontario Energy Rebate (OER) Increasing
To help residential and small business customers offset the cost of this rate increase, the province has announced an increase in the Ontario Energy Rebate (OER) from 13.1% to 23.5%.
This rebate is applied as a pre-tax rebate and will show up as a single line item on your electricity bill. For an average residential customer using about 700 kWh of electricity per month, the rebate will be approximately $36, up from about $17 before the OER increase.
| Previous Rebate | New Rebate (As of Nov. 1, 2025) | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 13.1% | 23.5% | +10.4% |
