Ontario offers electricity deal

Then just raise social security rates if that's the concern. Problem solved. I don't need my electricity subsidized.
Most utilities give lower rates to industrial customers. Example, SaskPower bills oil and gas production at 5.83 cents per kiloWatt hour. Rural residential customers pay 10.84 cents per kiloWatt hour.
$50 basic for oil companies $20 for residential. They make more money off the provider fee than usage fees. A jack pump doesn't use very much wattage.
Is a jack pump the only piece of oil or gas field equipment that uses electricity? I doubt that very much. In order to make more money off the fee, a house would have to use less than 185 kiloWatt hours per month. How much kiloWatt hours would a typical jack pump use in one month?
The pump jacks are on timers so they dont run all the time and they have very small electric motors running them.
From the pumpjacks the oil go's straight to a satellite building and then battery where it's trucked out.
They cant build them fast enough where i'm at in Sask.
Got anything to add thats pertinent or are you just here to troll?
They use about a 40 watt on the ones where im at,we also have to bury the power lines after tieing in the wells and pipe,pipes at 7 feet and wires at 3 feet.Judging by the size of the 3 phaze power line connecting them all they dont use much.
The compressor stations at the batteries use more power then anything.
You might have noticed that the rate also applies to refineries and gas plants. They certainly aren't miserly on electric consumption.
