Other items on your bill if you have signed with an electricity retailer

If you have signed a contract with an independent electricity retailer, in addition to the above there will some other items on your bill.  These include:

*  A Provincial Benefit line:  It can be a credit or a charge to you, and is your share of the difference between government regulated and contract prices for electricity paid to certain generators and the market prices they would have received had they not been subject to government regulation or contracts.  If you buy electricity under the Regulated Price Plan, an estimate of this amount is already reflected in the stable price for electricity set by the OEB, shown on the "Electricity" line of your bill.  If you buy from an electricity retailer, the Provincial Benefit is not included in the contract price offered by the retailer, so on your bill it's shown as a separate item.
