Wow did anyone else get a big surprise with the Aug bill? I understand it but still whew. Bill is normally (on budget plan) 211 per month and this month being the catchup or rebate month it was !!! $$$ 685 !!!! Big suprise.

The last winter was much colder than other years and therefor you used more than $211 in winter months.

My use went down.  
If you don't want any surprises next year you can call hydro and set the equal payment a little higher.

You can keep track of what the difference will be by looking at your bill. There I'd a box that says billed amount, another for usage amount and another for the $ amount of the difference. I knew I was going to be paying extra to get caught up so I made an extra payment of $300 earlier in the summer. My August 6th bill was the regular amount. They also increased my EPP amount by about $20 per month starting with.my Sept bill. You can be sure that your new EPP amount will be higher for the coming year.

Hydro increased my equal payments mid winter, Aug was almost free as usual.  
 
Increase your monthly payments. I would rather get Aug free than owe more.

I think it is because this bill you pay your normal price plus any difference.  
 
Our equal billing is $210, and the difference was approx $76, so lets say $290 but our bill is $340+. When I read it, its because the new equal billing starts this month and for last month they charged us normally for the electricity last month (which was hit many days and we had both our ACs running 24/7 for many days) so we used $240 some in electricity.  
 
I just believe its the way their equal billing cycle ends abd begins (we also got noticed part way through the year that our EPP plan was going up and this bill states its going up as well).
