New Uniform
HYDRO -RURAL RATES
Effective JANUARY lst, 1944
The Hydro .Electric Power Commission of Ontario announces new uniform
rates for electricity to all consumers served by the Commission in the
rural areas of Ontario, to become effective January 1st, 1944.
The new rates will result in a substantial saving to most Farm and Hamlet
consumers, and their form is considerably simplified.
The new rate system provides for the following:
• A uniform rate to all Rural customers, now served direct by the Commission.
• The elimination of service charges to all farm users.
• The reduction of service charges to all Hamlet customers.
• The co-ordination of all present Rural Power Districts into one Provincial Rural
Power System with the same meter rates applying throughout to the various
classifications.
• The existing consumer classifications, totalling 11 in all, have been reduced to 5
clearly defined classes: i.e. 2 wire hamlet, 3 wire hamlet, farm, commercial lighting
and summer cottages.
New Rtes Benefiting Approximately 97% of AU
Rural Consumers Are as Follows:
FARM SERVICE
NO SERVICE CHARGE.
First Block of 20 KwHrs.* per Kilowatt of
demand per month at 4c per KwHr.*
Next Block of 60 KwHrs.* per Kilowatt of
demand per month et 1.6/101 per KwHr*.
All remaining KwHrs.* per month at 3/4c
per KwHr.*
Minimum charge $0.75 per Kilowatt of
demand per month gross.
Gross quarterly bill subject to 10%
Prompt Payment Discount.
This Farm Service rate applies to all
Farms. In the case of "Standard" Farms
of approximately 100 acres the demand
is usually 5 Kilowatts and for these
services the first block of KwHrs is 60 while
the second block is 180. On larger farms
these bliacks will increase in proportion
to the Kilowatt demand.
*(Kwi-Irs.)—Kilowatt Hours
2 WIRE HAMLET SERVICE
Service Charge 55c per month gross.
First 40 KwHrs,* per month at 4e per KHwr.*
Next 80 KwHrs.* per month at 1-6/10c per
KwHr.*.
All remaining KwHrs.* per month at 3/41
per Kw1-11s*
Minimum charge $1.67 per month gross
Gross quarterly bill subject to le%
Prompt Payment Discount.
3 WIRE HAMLET SERVICE
Service Charge 551 per month gross.
First 40 KwHrs.* per month at 4c per Kwhr,*
Next 180 KwHrs.* per, month at 1-6/10c
per KwHr.*
All remaining Kwhrs.* per month at 3/4c
per KwHr.*
Minimum charge $2.25 per month gross.
Gross quarterly hill subject to 10%
Prompt Payment Discount.
*(KwHrs.)—Kilowatt Hours.
These new rates apply only to rural consumers served direct by this Commission
in Rural Power Districts established under Sections 71 to 79, inclusive, of the Power
Commission Act. They do not apply to consumers in rural voted areas or townships
operating under Section 54, of the Power Commission Act. In the latter areas, such
as the townships of Ancaster, Brantford, East York, Etobicoke, London, Nipigon,
North York, Scarborough, Toronto and Trafalgar, the present rates will not be affected.
As a result of these new rate reductions, Hydro Rural consumers will save an
estimated amount exceeding $500,000.00 per annum. Experience justifies the expecta-
tion on the part of tare Commission that this reduction in revenue will be recovered in
a short time through the increased use of electricity in the rural areas.
The application of these uniform rural rates will enable the Commission to later
extend service to many areas not 130W served and to supply economically, consumers in
the more sparsely settled areas. In most rural districls the new rates will provide a
saving for the majority of consumers. The following examples indicate the estimated
consumer saving in a district at present supplied under a rate of 6c per KwHr, for the
first block and 2c per Kw1-1r. for the second 'block.
