Commercial Electricity Rates

How Electricity Prices are Determined Infographic

A small number of London Hydro customers use tiered rates. Tiered Pricing is broken down into set amounts of electricity that may be used at a specific rate; once this set amount is exceeded, the rate changes to a more expensive tier. 

As of November 1, 2025 - April 30, 2026, Tiered prices for non-residential customers are:

First Tier - Up to 750 kWh

 

Second Tier - More than 750 kWh

12.0 cents per kWh

14.2 cents per kWh

***In calculating your bill, your consumption amount will be adjusted to account for heat loss. When electricity is delivered over a power line, it is normal for a small amount of power to be consumed or lost as heat. Equipment such as wires and transformers consume power before it gets to your home or business. The adjustment factor accounts for these losses.

 

****Adjustment Factor Charge is kWh x 0.0288 x Electricity Rate. For Example: 200 kWh x 0.0288 Adjustment Factor x Electricity Rate = 5.76 kWh x $0.151/kWh = $0.8697.


***** Monthly Administration charge applies to non-retailer affiliated customers only.
