New Electricity Rates

That electricity your using is costing you a little more.

New rates for all hydro users with smart meters are in effect.

The off-peak rate is up  4/10th of a cent to 6.7 cents per kilowatt hour.

Peak period costs are up 6/10ths of a cent to 12.4 cents.

A 5 per cent hike in rates for those without smart metres also took effect yesterday.
