Regulated Price Plan Self Declaration Form

Instructions

Under Ontario regulations, a consumer with an account that falls into one of a prescribed set of classes as described below is to be billed under the Regulated Price Plan (RPP).

Renfrew Hydro automatically enrolls some accounts in the RPP due to the consumer’s consumption and demand profiles as described in Step 1, sections 1 through 3; however, some accounts, as described in Step 1, sections 4 and 5, are not automatically enrolled and must self-declare account eligibility with Renfrew Hydro before they are able to be enrolled in the RPP.

Effective May 01, 2023, in accordance with section 3.5 of the Ontario Energy Board’s Standard Supply Service Code, consumers have the option of being charged RPP Time-of-Use (TOU) rates, Tiered rates or Ultra-Low Overnight (ULO) rates. Consumers that have an interval meter also have the option of being charged the Ontario Electricity Market Price. Consumers may also elect to sign a contract with an electricity retailer for commodity supply.

At any time after the self-declaration, the consumer can choose to switch between RPP TOU, ULO, Tiered or the Ontario Electricity Market Price. Requests to change your price plan can be emailed to [email protected] and should include your account number and your service address.

If the request is submitted by a third party, please include a letter of authorization permitting the third party to act on your behalf. If you change your price plan, the change will be effective as of the next bill period.

If you’re interested in self-declaring and having your account enrolled in the RPP, please complete the steps on the following pages.
