Unfortunately, we are not able to proceed with your registration if you do not have the power to enter your company into a legally binding agreement with Festival Hydro.
There are three options: Time-of-Use (TOU), Ultra Low Overnight (ULO), and Tiered.
With TOU and ULO pricing, you can help manage your electricity costs by shifting your usage to lower off-peak periods when possible. The price you pay for electricity depends on when you use it. Under Tiered pricing, you can use a certain amount of electricity each month at a lower price, and one that limit is exceeded, a higher price applies.
For more information on Time-of-Use, Ultra Low Overnight, and Tiered pricing, and tools to help you decide which price structure is right for you, please visit. www.oeb.ca/choice.

Tiered Price
A small number of customers are on the pricing system, known as Tiered Pricing. The charges for these customers, effective November 1, 2024 - April 30, 2025 are:
Up to 750 kWh/per month | $/kWh | 9.3 ¢/kWh |
Consumption beyond 750 kWh/per month | $/kWh | 11.0 ¢/kWh |
General Service customers with consumption in excess of 250,000 kWh are subject to hourly electricity pricing. Customers with an interval meter pays the hourly spot price; customers who do not have an interval meter pay the weighted wholesale price. In addition, a customer on hourly electricity pricing has a separate line item on their bill called global adjustment. For more information on electricity pricing, please refer to the IESO website at www.ieso.ca.
