How to understand which option to use for Hydro in Canada (use tool Ontario Energy Board’s bill calculator)

 Hydro Ottawa’s rate plan comparison tool is available for MyAccount customers and automatically uses your consumption data to show you the electricity cost difference (in percentage) under Time-of-use or tiered prices for your account.

With MyAccount, there’s no need for you to enter any consumption data or other billing information when using Hydro Ottawa’s rate plan comparison tool. MyAccount will automatically generate an estimate and compare electricity costs for you based on the historical monthly usage information available in your MyAccount customer portal.

NOTE: The Ultra-low overnight rates are not available in the MyAccount rate plan comparison tool. If you wish to compare your electricity costs using Ultra-low overnight rates, please use the OEB bill calculator to estimate your monthly bill.

Hydro Ottawa’s online tool is easy-to-use. Simply follow these steps:

  • Log into MyAccount
  • Choose ‘’Manage Rate Plan’’ option;
