About Tiered Pricing
Under tiered pricing, customers are charged two rates for electricity: a lower rate for the electricity used up to a certain threshold; and a second, higher rate for all additional use.
Tiered pricing rates are set by the Ontario Energy Board.
- For Time-of-Use Pricing and Tiered 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.
