No. In fact from what I'm finding, the "default" suppliers (Enbridge, 
TorontoHydro) are not even allowed to fix rates. It seems that they 
estimate what the rate is going to be and charge you that. If it turns 
out they had to pay more, get get to recover it from you later as an 
adjustment. I started my energy shopping after receiving a bill for one 
such "adjustment". :-(
