www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday April 19, 2008 - 5 Here's a shock, hydro bills going down Starting next month, Oakville Hydro residential customers should see their total electricity bill fall by 7 per cent, or $8.74 per month when compared to last year's bill. Commercial customers will also see a decrease in their electricity bill. "Oakville Hydro is committed to customer satisfaction and community benefit by ensuring the safe, reliable and efficient delivery of the Town's electricity," said Cristina Birceanu, Manager of Regulatory Affairs. "We are dedicated to the ongoing enhancements taking place on the electricity distribution system to better serve our customers and the community." The Ontario Energy Board announced that the electricity portion of the bill, which refers to the price of electricity, remains unchanged for residential, small commercial and designated consumers (municipalities, universities, schools, and hospitals). After May 1, these prices will remain at 5.0 cents per kWh for the first consumption tier (600 kWh for residential and 750 kWh for commercial consumers) and 5.9 cents per kWh for the remaining monthly consumption. Distribution rates are set to recover the cost of delivering electricity to the consumer and are based on the cost of providing electricity service. Distribution rates are reflected in the "Delivery" line on consumer bills. Oakville Hydro's distribution charges represent less than 25 per cent of the total electricity bill. Oakville Hydro's distribution rates are regulated by Ontario Energy Board guidelines, which provide standard rate adjustments that account for inflation and productivity improvements. Other factors taken into consideration in determining rates are capital structure and recent federal and provincial tax changes. For more information regarding the electricity rate changes visit the Ontario Energy Board website at: www.oeb.gov.ca. New Patients Welcome!
