hydro / electricity

a bill with 0 usage is $24.02
the base delivery rate is $22.63
the base regulatory charge is 25 cents.
on this is HST (tax) of 13%.
There is then a 8% rebate from the province; their portion of this tax.
100 kWh adds 2.13 to delivery
1000 kWh adds 21.71 to delivery

every 1 kWh adds $0.0213 to the delivery charge
every 1 kWh adds $0.0043 to the regulatory charge

on a tiered plan, the first 600 kWh are charged at $0.077 per kWh
the remainder is charged at $0.089

this is the cent-price for electricity, and it can and will change with time.

As such the price is as follows: $0.1026 per kWh under 600
As such the price is as follows: $0.1146 per kWh over 600

to this is added the federal portion of the HST, 5%

as such the final price is:

As such the price is as follows: $0.10773 per kWh under 600
As such the price is as follows: $0.12033 per kWh over 600
there is a minimum fee of $24.02 even with 0 usage.

on the good side:

I can get up to $68 a month from the government on account of me being poor, and using electric heating.


using my old math in the previous post, I would pay $191.17

certainly less than I calculated it last time, likely thanks to government efforts to reduce bills.

With the full rebate it would be $123.17


however

without electric heating, my bill would go down to about $130.93. I'd only be able to get a $45 rebate, but with that, we are at $85.93


ODSP gives me $479 for rent.
I currently pay $535, all inclusive. That means heat, and hydro (electricity) are included in the rental price.

Assuming I found places for $479 (not bloody likely) I'd end up paying either $565 or $602 pending if heat is included or not (it usually is)

As such I'm $30 better off staying exactly where I am no matter what. The only way I'd be even better off is if some all inclusive place that's only charging $479 for rent became open.


EDITED TO ADD

if all temperature control was included, both heating and air conditioning, my bill drops to $72.37.

to be clear, I use $72.37 in electricity for everything not heating or cooling and $118.80 for heating and cooling.
