Smart Meters and Time-of-Use Rates: A New Way To Think About Electricity

Your smart meter is a key part of Ontario's new smart metering system - and of building a culture of energy conservation across this province.

By 2010, every home and small business in Ontario will have a smart meter and, by 2011, will be paying for electricity under Time-of-Use rates.

This site explains what smart meters and Time-of-Use rates are, why Ontario is introducing them, and how they can help you manage and reduce your electricity costs.

As you'll see, smart meters and Time-of-Use pricing provide new options for managing and reducing your electricity costs. Looking at the bigger picture, if we all make some small changes to how we use electricity, we can also have a positive impact on the environment and Ontario's energy system.
