1Average savings are based on actual consumption by Hilo customers who chose a smart heating solution, across all participation modes, connected devices, and home types. The average is based on estimated savings from the 2025‑2026 season (data to be validated in summer 2026) for customers enrolled in Rate Flex D who participated throughout the entire season under a scenario of 84 hours or 21 peak demand events. The calculation is based on Rate Flex D prices in effect during that season. Potential savings represent the difference between Rate Flex D and Rate D (the base rate), before taxes.
2In the unlikely event that your bill is higher than it would have been on the base rate, we’ll reimburse the difference. This provision applies during your first full winter after enrolment in Rate Flex D, from December 1 to March 31. If you sign up for Hilo after the winter season has begun, it will remain in effect until the end of the following winter.
