While the customers we acquired have seen changes to their delivery rates in recent years, many acquired customers continue to pay rates lower than other Hydro One customers receiving the same type of service. Hydro One believes that all customers deserve fair, reasonable and affordable rates. In order for rates to be fair, they must be applied consistently across our customer base and reflect the true cost of delivering electricity to homes and businesses. For this reason, Hydro One is seeking to have all its customers pay the same rates for the same services. In some communities this could mean an increase to delivery rates. Under the proposed rate structure, all customers in the same rate class would be charged the same delivery rates, regardless of where they live. The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) regulates the rates charged by all electric utilities in Ontario, including Hydro One, and must approve any changes to our delivery rates. On December 18, 2007, Hydro One applied to the OEB to harmonize or consolidate the rates in your community with other communities across Ontario served by Hydro One (OEB file number EB-2007-0681). Based on our application, the delivery rate increase would be phased in over four years. This would limit the increase to less than 10 per cent on the total bill in any one year for an average Hydro One customer. (The average Hydro One residential customer uses 1,000 kWh per month and the average general service energy-billed customer uses 2,000 kWh per month). The table below shows the proposed delivery rate increase by community for 2008 and over four years for an average customer's electricity use. Average Delivery Rate Increase on the Total Bill "Community Name" from Hydro One's Electricity Bill Residential customers using 1,000 kWh per month General Service energy-billed customers using 2,000 kWh per month Average 2008 Increase on Total Bill Average Increase on Total Bill at the end of 4 years Average 2008 Increase on Total Bill Average Increase on Total Bill at the end of 4 years Nipigon 1.7% 3.8% 8.8% 21.1% Nipigon Town 1.7% 3.8% 8.8% 21.1% Red Rock 0.3% 1.9% 8.7% 13.5% Red Rock Village 0.3% 1.9% 8.7% 13.5% How do I know if this might affect me? You can confirm if you have community-specific rates by checking on page two of your Hydro One bill. If one of the communities listed in the table above appears besides the words "Your service type is Residential - Community Name" or "Your service type is General - Community Nome" you will be affected. If approved by the OEB, the proposed rate increase will affect the Delivery line on your bill. For more information on our rate application, please go to www.HydroOneNetworks.com/20Q8RateApplication or call 1-866-543-8031. Our office hours are Monday to Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Do I have a say? Yes, you can participate in the OEB process. The OEB will undertake a public process, which includes a public hearing before rates are approved. Interested parties can intervene, observe or provide written comment. Public participation helps ensure the OEB makes an informed decision on our rates. Information on how to participate may be obtained by visiting the OEB's website at www.oeb.gov.on.ca or by calling the OEB's Consumer Relations Centre at 1-877-632-2727. hydro one Bringing Power to the People of Ontarioâ„¢ aware that wireless and Internet-based telephone services have certain limitations in the event that they require 9-1-1 emergency. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is alerting he public to technical 9-1-1 limitations to help ensure that when someone calls 9-1-1 for help using wireless or Internet-based technology, emergency services can locate them with the least delay possible. 9-1-1 call takers and dispatchers need to know a caller’s exact location in order to direct the nearest police, fire or ambulance services to the emergency. Response delays may result if exact location information is not provided by the caller. The traditional 9-1-1 Continued on Page 7 A Secret of Sanctity I am going to reveal to you a secret of sanctity and happiness. If every day during five minutes, you will keep your imagination quiet, shut your eyes to all things of sense, and close your ears to all the sounds of earth, so as to be able to withdraw into the sanctuary of your soul, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit, speaking there to that Holy Spirit, saying: O Holy Spirit, soul of my soul, I adore you. Enlighten, guide, strengthen and console me. Tell me what I ought to do and command me to do it. I promise to be submissive in everything you permit to happen to me, only show me what is Your will. If you do this, your life will pass happily and serenely. Consolation will abound even in the midst of troubles. Grace will be given in proportion to tried as well as strength to bear it, bringing you to the gates of paradise full of merit. Submission to the Holy Spirit is the Secret of Sanctity.
