HydroOne for my house (TOU vs ULO)

I guess it depends how cheap you are. It might make you choose to be more efficient but I wouldn't let it prevent me from living my life, knowing that the rate plan is saving me money overall.
BTW, I discovered a couple issues with my previous analysis.
- For some reason Hydro Ottawa wouldn't let me download the data from my most recent bill, so the data was cut off at April 18. They have now fixed the issue.
- I forgot that last year a personal situation had me frequently charging elsewhere (especially in July and August) when normally I would be charging at home, so I have now added the power used in those charging sessions as overnight ussage. I kept the remote sessions that likely would have happened anyway.
After correctiong for this, ULO becomes an even better option for me:
Month ULO - TOU
January -$16.21
February -$18.74
March -$16.01
April -$16.37
May $1.44
June $7.59
July -$0.26
August -$2.20
September -$5.39
October -$4.27
November -$10.86
December -$8.56
========================
Total -$89.85
Sep-Apr Total -$98.88
