Hydro One customers had their chance to sound off on the electricity corporation’s proposed distribution rate increases Monday night at Napanee’s Strathcona Paper Centre during a public meeting hosted by the Ontario Energy Board. As per protocol, Hydro One submitted an application to OEB earlier this year, calling for an increase in the distribution rates for 2018 through 2022. If successful, the rate would equate to an average increase of $2-3 dollars per month for the average customer. “In its capacity as a distributor of electricity, (Hydro One) has made an application to increase the costs that it needs to recover to run its business,” said Kristi Sebalj, OEB registrar. “Our process will determine whether or not that is the case.”
