Ultimately, the goal of electricity price thresholds and shifting electricity usage to off-peak hours is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and alleviate the strain on the power grid during peak times.” - Bryce Conrad, President and Chief Executive Officer Media Contact Josée Larocqu...
Ford's conservative government keeps rates virtually unchanged in May. There was just a small increase as the on-peak rate changed from 13.2 cents per kWh to 13.4 cents per kWh. All other rates remained the same. Ontario Electricity Rates Rocket Higher in May ...
Canada. Spun off from utilities giant Ontario Hydro in April 1999 in preparation for privatization of the electric utility industry in 2000, OHSC handles distribution of electricity and retail operations. The firm provides electricity to three types of customers: industrial; retail, including...
hydro is still producing all the time and does not get much above 1 GW output. The diurnal variance that helps meet peak daily demand is still evident. The scale of wind variability has grown to dwarf hydro output.
While there are a few easy hacks to cut back on your AC use – running it at off-peak times and ensuring your unit has a good Energy Efficiency Ratio of 14 or higher can save upwards of $25 per month – installing a “learning” or programmable thermostat is one of the most effective...
Particular advantage is feeding into the grid during times of peak tariff, for better commercial bottom lines Reply Vin says: 12/03/2023 at 4:34 am Just tell us straight, Is more electricity needed to pump the water up the hill than it creates going down the hill. Reply Administrator ...
Winter (green) and spring (red) periods preceding the flood peak are highlighted. For some years that had lower initial winter Lake Ontario water levels, the role of NBS and winter/spring climate in inducing a flood was greater. For instance, in 1976 (a strong La Niña), anomalies in ...
As was the caseduring the first lockdownin the spring, the provincial government has decided to make hydro bills more affordable for people in Ontario now that residents are once again being asked to stay home as much as possible. Premier Doug Ford and his team announceda stringent blanket sh...

This damage developed when peak fluid pressures in subglacial conduits exceeded fracture and rock tensile strengths. Most hydraulic damage is confined to former subglacial meltwater corridors, providing the first firm evidence that high fluid pressures developed in these conduits. The taxonomy for ...
