So if you are also in Ontario (you don't say) then you must live in a low-density, rural area (so you're paying a lot less for property taxes).
If you look at this:
You'll see that if you're served by Toronto Hydro (and you're on time-of-day billing) then you're paying 6.3 cents for off-peak and 11.8 cents for peak rate. On top of that, you're paying about 3.3 cents for transmission / distribution / regulatory, and a flat $19 per month for Toronto Hydro to pay their executives a nice big salary.
So including these extra charges, that works out to 15 cents per kwh for peak demand hours, and 9.6 cents for off-peak.
I think you need to get off the grid - or move to an urban area where you aren't being gouged paying for electricity. But take heart - at least you/we are not being screwed up the ass like they are in California.
