Smart Meters and Ontario’s Energy Plan
Ontario is introducing smart meters—along with a “time-of-use” electricity price structure—to help you manage your electricity costs, while helping Ontario to build a more efficient, more environmentally sound electricity system. Here’s more…It's estimated that over the next twenty years, Ontario will need to refurbish, rebuild, replace, or conserve 25,000 megawatts (MW) worth of generating capacity — more than 80% of Ontario's current electricity generating capacity — at an estimated cost of $70 billion. Producing more electricity is only part of the answer. Conservation and demand management will help us make the best use of our existing electricity resources and slow our growth in demand. Smart meters together with time-of-use rates will help encourage us all to think about how and when we use electricity.
Smart meters measure hourly electricity use, so prices can be set based on the time of day. That better matches the way prices work in the electricity market, and will encourage us to think more about how and when we use electricity. As we move consumption away from the more expensive (peak) times of the day, we can help Ontario reduce its peak demand, which can help limit the building and operation of peak generating facilities.
