Our own business cracked $6K in one month for hydro for the first time ever last year. Hell, i even let them put a giant solar panel in my yard so i could at least get some benefit out if it... that's how much they subsidized these things, paying ridiculous amounts per kw.
This unaffordable green crap was all done under the liberals watch in Ontario.

Under the micro-FIT program they pay $0.80/KWH when the avg price for hydro is $0.12. A number of people in my neck of the woods installed panels on their roofs. For an initial investment of roughly $75k, they expect to recoup in about 6-7 years. I also have wind farms about 30 mins away, I comment every time I drive by them that of the 20-30 I see, maybe 2 or 3 are actually turning.
