Everyone loves to talk about how high theirs is, how their respective utility must be the worst, most expensive in the province. But not everyone can have the highest bills in Ontario.

So who really pays the most?

It’s likely no surprise that Hydro One’s customers pay the most, thanks in large part to the cost of transmission to remote areas. Low-density customers pay $258.82 with HST for 1,000 kWh of power, medium-density consumers pay $226.58 for the same, according to data pulled from the Ontario Energy Board’s bill calculator on Oct. 25. (Hydro One consumers are categorized by the utility depending on their area to account for the cost of transmitting power long distances.)
