My hydro bill for a 1500 sq ft townhouse has consistently increased since I moved in 5 years ago. The debt retirement charge has only recently been taken off as a charge on every Ontario hydro bill. That was at least a 10 year grab. We also never do laundry or run the dishwasher during on peak hours. I don't use the dry cycle on my dishwasher, have a gas water heater, keep my AC at 25, which is barely comfortable some days. It is outrageous.
