HYDRO
HTS
On January 1, 1944, The 'Hydro -Electric- Power Commission
of Ontario inaugurated. a new uniform rate for the supply of
electricity to all -consumers served '' direct by the Commission, in
the rural areas . of Ontario. , This new rate has " many advantages
and provides a saving to, most Farm and Hamlet users.
The principal beneficial features of the new rate are as follows:
1.
All Rural Power Districts are now co-ordinated into 'one Rural Provincial
Power System with a uniform meter rate applying throughout.
2 The estimated saving to Rural Ontario per year is an amount.. exceeding
$500,000.00, equivalent to 10 percent of. the Commission's total revenue
• from Rural consumers .0 1943.
T 3 The service -"charge for Farm users has been removed.
4 The service charge to Hamlet consumers has been cut half. -
IM The majority of all -Rural customers (approximately 97 percent) are benefited
by this rate change, only a small number (approximately 3%) are adversely
affected to a minimum extent.
Individual Bilis Vary with Use of Electricity
In making direct comparisons between your power bill under the
new rate and that for• a similar period under the previous rate, several
conditions. must be considered. These conditions include the amount
of electrical energy used (kilowatt-hours), the former meter rate, and
the demand or peak load where additional equipment has been installed:-
For
nstalled -
For example,you first bill under the new rate may be higher than
the bill you receiveda year ago for the same period, because of increased
use, Le. higher kilowatt-hours: In such cases, a fair comparison can
only be made by'calculating the bill, using the increased consumption '0
at the old rate, and comparing this amount with your present bill. ' COMPARE YOUR Use
OICOEMED tow
•
- Again, many 'c'ustomers such as garages, service stations, refresh-
ment stands, etcetera, have increased their deinand by installing
additional Or larger equipment. In such cases; their bills may now be
increased, since the 'higher demand or' peak load results in a 1argei'
number,of kilowatt-hours being billed under the first and second block
rotes.
Some consumers using electricity in very small . amount's 'have'
received minimum bills• In these cases'' it should be noted that they are
entitled to ueeadditional electricity, r, as allovied for in the ailinimum
charge, • without extra cost.
USE WHAT Y411
PAY FOR
Thee explanations are given as a guide to assist you in applying the
new rates, If you need further information, ask your Rural District
Superintendent.
NEW SERVICES
Wartime restrictions and difficulties add considerably to the problem
of providing' eleetric-service. Your Rural District Superintendent will
connect approved form services as quickly as the shortage of materials'
and manpower will permit.
