This is just one of 75 recommendations put forth by the Municipal Electric Association in its final argument to the Ontario Energy Board r OEB) hearing. The net result of the Municipal Electric Association's recommendations would reduce Ontario Hydro's proposed revenue requirement by $138 -million, savings that the Municipal Electric Association feels should be put toward'the Crown corpora- tion's debt. Evidence submitted during the eight week hearing indicates Hydro's goal of keeping its rates at or below inflation level during the 1980s has resulted in Hydro fail- ing to meet its financial targets during the past few years. While the Municipal Elec- tric Association supports this goal, it feels it should not be done by increasing its debt obligations. The Assocation's recommended 4.9 per- cent increase will allow Hydro to maintain a reliable and competitive system - with no consequence to either its customers or the economy - and help put Hydro on -the -road to reducing its debt base. In its argument, the Municipal Electric Association recommends substantial reduc- tions in the revenue requirement partially because of a stronger forecasted Canadian dollar and higher forecasted export sales. It also urges Hydro to realign its salaries with those Of comparable companies, resulting in a $6 -million savings. The Association's 268 page report also recommends that: * Increased support for Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. ( AECL.) research be accepted. * Hydro accelerate its program to restore preventative maintenance levels. * Hydro be given opportunities to develop its parallel generation programs in conjunction with independent producers. * Hydro reduce its future coal contracts. * Hydro increase its 1988 nuclear decommis- sioning provision by 10 percent.
