Old fart. :winkwink:

I remember when we didn't have to program our household appliances to only work in the middle of the night during 'off-peak' hydro rates.

When the electrical utilities were first formed here in Ontario all the power production was Hydro electric. We are blessed to have Niagara falls as a source for power. A few years ago the provincial Crown Corporation that generated over 90 some % of the power here changed it's name from Ontario Hydro to Ontario Power Generation. A lot of the local utilities that By their power from OPG kept their old names though like Toronto Hydro etc.
