Ontario Energy Board wants to hear from Chapleau Public Utilities Corporation (Chapleau Hydro) customers

Chapleau Public Utilities Corporation (Chapleau Hydro) has applied to the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) to change its electricity distribution rates.

 

According to Chapleau Hydro, if its application were to be approved as filed, the typical residential customer using 750 kWh of electricity per month would see an increase of approximately $1.96 per month and commercial customers in the general service (<50 kW) using 2,000 kWh per month would see a monthly increase of $17.40, as of May 1, 2019.

The potential residential customer bill impact includes reductions under the Distribution Rate Protection program.
