Electricity rates are about to change across Ontario

TORONTO -
Electricity rates are about to change for users across Ontario.
On November 1, households and small businesses will see their electricity rates go down under the Ontario Energy Board's (OEB) Regulated Price Plan.
Customer's on the OEB's tiered pricing plan will also see their bills lowered on November 1, as winter time-of-use hours and the seasonal change in the killowatt-hour threshold take effect.
Off-peak time-of-use hours will run from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. during weekdays, and all day on weekends and holidays. On-peak hours will be from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, and mid-peak hours from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays.
The winter-tier threshold provides residential customers with an extra 400 kilowatt-hours per month at a lower price during the colder weather.
The Ontario Electricity Rebate - a pre-tax credit that shows up at the bottom of electricity bills - will also see changes on November 1. Starting next month, the rebate will drop from 17 per cent to 11.7 per cent.
For a typical residential customer, the credit will decrease electricity bills by about $13.91 per month, according to the OEB.
Under the board's winter disconnection ban, electricity providers can't turn off a residential customer's power between November 15, 2022 and April 30, 2023 for failing to pay.

Sustaining U.S. Nuclear Power And Decarbonization
WASHINGTON - Nuclear power is the single largest source of carbon-free energy in the United States and currently provides nearly 20 percent of the nation’s electrical demand. As a result, many analyses have investigated the potential of future nuclear energy contributions in addressing climate change. However, few assess the value of existing nuclear power reactors.
Research led by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) Earth scientist Son H. Kim, with the Joint Global Change Research Institute (JGCRI), a partnership between PNNL and the University of Maryland, has added insight to the scarce literature and is the first to evaluate nuclear energy…
