Same with deregulation up here in Ontario. Sure, you can BUY your
rlectricity and natural gas from anyone you choose - and have it
delivered on OPG lines through, in my case, Waterloo North Hydro
distribution system for elrctricity and Embridge (formerly union gas)
for gas. Always on a "fixed price" contract which for at least the
last 20 years has NEVER been cheaper over the long term than spot
price through the primary supplier.
Someone's making a tidy profit.
Kitchener utilities was hedging their bets, buying contracts on gas -
and Kitchener residents payed significantly more than Waterloo, where
we bought directly from Union Gas (now Embridge)


Clare - I'll happily buy you a Schmidtsville breakfast -
if that's what it takes to set you straight on this ! :-)
I can't speak for gas - but for electricity - it isn't the
energy price - it's the delivery price - that is the problem ..
... OPG does not retail or deliver electricity -
HydroOne delivers electricity... wholesale and retail ..
... and they are no longer included in the SunShine List -
... duh .
Ontario - Quebec - Manitoba - public power systems -
... Provencial Public Utilities - along with TVA .
we were historically the very best in North America .
... now look at us.
I think Manitoba and Quebec are OK ...
