Thia is one in a series of messages explaining problems of electric supply to farm and
hamlet consumers served direct by The Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario.
Why o Minimum Bill for
Electric Service?
In our previous message, we indicated the two parts of the cost
of supplying electric power to the Rural User. Let us consider
the part covering distribution cost, and its relation to the
MINIMUM BILL.

Electricity cannot be bought at a store and taken home for use. It has
to be delivered to your home or farm over distribution lines built of
poles, wires, insulators, transformers, meters, etc. These lines must be
ready to deliver electricity day in and day out, when you turn the switch.
These pole lines, with related equipment, cost money to construct, and
on this cost must be paid each year, interest and repayment of capital.
In addition, ®these lines must be properly maintained, replaced when
necessary, and kept in good operating condition, including costs of billing
and collecting and superintendence. All of these distribution costs
must be met each year, in addition to the actual cost of electricity at
the substation.
Let us see what this distribution cost amounts to:
Cost to constrict 20,000 miles of distribution lines
to serve 135,000 rural users...................................... $39,000,000.00
Yearly cost (1942) of operation, maintenance,
interest, renewals, etc............... ................................. $ 2,991,400.00
Average cost per customer....................... 1^2*20 ^er year ,
( 1.85 per month85 per month
In hamlets where customers can be grouped and lines are shorter,
this average cost per user is slightly less. In the case of farms where the
users are spread along the line, the cost is somewhat greater.
• Whether or not you use power in any month, the cost of this equip
ment to serve you still carries on* If you use less electricity than is
covered by the minimum cost (on standard farms, 56 kilowatt hours a
month), then you have a MINIMUM BILL to meet this distribution
cost* If your use of electricity is greater, your bill at the Uniform Rate
covers both distribution cost, plus the cost of electricity at the station.
The Minimum Bill for a 2-wire Hamlet user is $1.50 net per month; for
a standard Farm, it is $2.02 net per month.
