The delivery charge structure is finally being dismantled. It was a long road of silence and redirected emails before they actually listened. Keep your eyes on the next bill cycle to ensure the change is reflected correctly.

Hydro One has slapped a "delivery charge" on our bills since the so called "de-regulation" . Th e Delivery Charge is usually up to 3 times the amount of each households ACTUAL electricity usage. So if your electricity usage is $40 your bill will be around $120 dollars mostly because of the 'delivery charge' not to mention the "ontario debt charge" and other added charges to our bills. The Delivery Charge is constantly increasing. There is no end in sight to this robbery. Please read your hydro bills. Look at the breakdown. You will see the "delivery charge " and its astronomical price in comparison to the actual electricity usage. I have contacted mpp's, hydro one, the press , political leaders..and all they send me are links to "understand my bill". Unfortunately, I understand it all to well and am asking "where is the promised competition" since the deregulation and why is this delivery charge TRIPLE THE AMOUNT OF OUR ACTUAL ELECTRICITY USAGE? No answer from them. More links. Even if you purchase electricity from some other new provider, you will still pay the delivery charge, they have no control over that- they only provide the electricity at their rates, but the delivery charge will eat up your money still. It is time THIS STOPS. We are living in a democratic modern society not a country where the government can steal money from us through legal games. Politicians will not do anything about it because the Province gets dividends from Hydro One through these charges.
Think of it this way, when you go to buy bread and milk from the store, do you also pay for the road that the truck is driving on, the truck that delivered it to you and the debt that the store may have, raising your bill from perhaps $5 bucks to $20 bucks instead, for bread and milk. Please sign this petition to show we are educated self-respecting citizens of Ontario, not sheep. I am in favour of reducing Ontario's debt, my debt, any debt - but not when you charge mea "delivery charge" that costs 3 TIMES MOREthen the ACTUAL electricityI use.Please sign this as a first step in getting rid of the delivery charge.

The emails I receive from Hydro One are just more links to explain charges I already understand perfectly well. They ignore the core issue while I keep pushing for an actual conversation about these costs. It is draining to be met with total silence but staying quiet is not an option.

$700 to $800 monthly bills to heat up less than 5C empty cottage during the winter. Most of it is for delivery charges. A delivery of electricity through a grid that is already built.
I agree these charges are way to high especially if you live in the country. I have a 200 acre solar farm next to me and I pay almost 200 a month for delivery for 80 in usage and that's including the yard light I pay for.
Stop this charge I could not do this to my customers it would be the end of my business as they have a choice not to buy from me. I have no choice but to buy from Hydro One is this legal?.
as a single mother,, am not sure how you expect me to pay a 400 dollar bill, when 204 of it is delivery, as your nuts,, well I hope you all have a Merry Christmas, because there is a merry anything in my home can't afford it,
We shouldnt have to live in the cold and dark so hydro can overpay its executives and continual overstaffing rates. Charge us for our usage as your rate reflects and run your company without ripping off citizens. Simple...honest ...Canadian.
MONOPOLY any other business would not survive my bill electric used $13.95 Delivery $254.55 Robbery plus the power was out for 27 of the 92 day cycle
Just another way to steal money. When you sell it to U S A. Charge them more don't sell it at a lose. That way we should all pay less

Businesses should be held accountable to prevent this kind of exploitation. If a charge cannot be clearly defined or justified on a case-by-case basis, it shouldn't exist.
