PAYING ONTARIO HYDRO BILLS

"I don’t use my dryer anymore and hang my clothes to dry,” writes John Lopes, frustrated with high energy prices. He sets his dishwasher to run in the middle of the night, rarely has lights on, and now hardly uses heating in the winter.

Yet despite all of these efforts, Lopes found his August bill had gone up by 39% compared to last August.

This is a very, very common theme in many of the calls and emails I’ve been receiving from people sharing their hydro headaches. Ontario residents are jumping through hoops to live within the restrictions the government has boxed them. Yet still their rates go up.
