New bill shows average use of electricity
An extra item of informa-
tion has been added to On-
tario Hydro bills to help
customers measure how
well their conservation ef-
forts are working.
Starting this month the
revised bill, sent to Hydro's
onO,0O0 rural customers, will
show a customer's
average
daily use of electricity. The
bill, when based on a meter
reading, will indicate the
average use of electricity in
kilowatt-hours per day.
The average daily use
figure will be calculated
from individual meter
NNW NMI
readings every three
months.
Ed Kulperger, planning
superintendent at Ontario
Hydro's conservation divi-
sion, says the figures on the
revised bill will fluctuate
with the seasons, "If
customers keep their bills
for a year and compare
them from one year to the
next, then they'll be able to
see how well their conserva-
tion efforts are working."
Kulperger said for years
people have been rating the
efficiency of their
automobiles by measuring
the miles -per -gallon perfor-
mance. He added that the
same idea can be applied to
electricity consumption.
He also noted that some of
the best ways to reduce the
average daily use of elec-
tricity are to turn off un-
necessary lights, cut down

water
and
use less heat, Kulperger
said if these measures are
taken they will save energy
and help offset increased
electricity prices.
You don't say much but
you talk a lot.
