My Yankee friends were talking about "real time" billing for electricity explaining that electricity costs a different amount depending what time of day it is and what time of year. Peak power times are priced higher, albeit not huge. By signing up for real time billing they bill you according to the variance during the day. Paying attention to those peak times, and trying to use power outside of those times has lowered their bills for one guy by 65%! I haven't heard of this before, so I'm not sure if it is available in Canada. Have you heard of this?

It's rumored to be coming to B.C. We have smart meters now and not by choice.
