Well, from January to November the hydro rates have gone up about 6% here. There was no price increase in the cost per KWH, however the electricity rebate was reduced from 19.3% to 13.1%. No big deal.
However the new rates that just started in November are considerably more expensive. The rate plan I am currently on has increases ranging from 28.7% to 39.3% (different increases for different usage times). I suspect that they will initially employ a much higher rebate to reduce the number of complaints and then just reduce the rebate over time.
Of course this just gives me more reason to stop being so lazy and finish building up the second transformer so I can move more stuff over to the inverter. The items I would like to move over are A/C, stove and dryer. I have all the materials for the inverter, but will need some items to beef up the battery charger.
Note: After a little googling, I see that the rebate has gone from 13.1% to 23.5%, which makes the effective increase from 16% to 22%.
I guess the party is over.
