Feb 22, 2023 · An electricity bill calculator is an online tool that helps you estimate how much your monthly electricity bill will be based on your consumption and your province’s rates. By using this tool, you can see how different factors impact your bill and find ways to reduce your usage and costs.
A bill payment, if mailed, is considered received by the electricity provider 3 days before the company actually receives it. If paying at a bank or by credit card, the payment is considered received when the financial institution acknowledges it.

This year, we compared our results to Hydro-Québec’s 2022electricity price study. Our final calculated prices vary from Hydro-Québec’s results by 0-27%. Of course, variation is expected given differences in study time frame (Sep 2023 vs April 2022) and coverage (provincial average vs single cities) between our studies. For example, Maritime Electric in Prince Edward Island recently increased their rates (contributing to our higher calculated prices). In most cases, the difference is simply ex...
