The new rates have been approved by Ontario Hydro who havi joined with this hydro system in extensive rate studies to ensure that each customer classification is charged as closely as possible according to the costs of supplying service to that classif ication. This adjustmnent incorporates a new general service rate which replaces the previous commerical and industrial rates. In doingso, Orono Hydro System joins 321 other Ontario utilities who have adopted the general rate classification. This new classification places more emphasis on total energy used, rather than the kilowatt demand., It is customer oriented particularly in the sense that it results in a more equitable sharing of costs by customers.
