Tiered Pricing

About Tiered Pricing

With Tiered Pricing, you can use a certain amount of electricity each month at a lower price. Once that limit (threshold) is exceeded, a higher price applies.

  • The monthly Tier threshold for residential customers changes twice a year: 600 kWh during the summer period (May 1 to October 31); 1,000 kWh during the winter period (November 1 to April 30).
  • The monthly Tier threshold for small business customers is 750 kWh all year round.

Tiered pricing rates are set by the Ontario Energy Board.

  • For Time-of-Use Pricing, Tiered Pricing, and Ultra-Low Overnight Pricing, Alectra Utilities passes this cost through to you, without mark-up, and pays it directly to our suppliers.
  • Customers who have signed a contract with an energy retailer pay the price stated in their contract plus the Global Adjustment.
