Halton -Burlington) recently made a statement to the Ontario Energy Board with respect to hydro rates, the gist of which was as follows, • For a number of years, our party has actively pursued in the Legislature the matter of Hydro's expansion program, its associated costs, and its effects upon electricity rates for Ontario consumers. Hydro's proposed 9.1 per cent increase for 1985 (almost double the Inflation rate) is totally unacceptable when millions of Ontarians are desperately tryiltg to live within their means at this time of economic hardship. We have for years been faced with Hydro's conviction that it knows best, that what is good for Hydro - namely constant e::pansion - is good for Ontario. There has been the ever Present threat that if Hydro is hamstrung in any way, the lights will surely go out a few years down the road. Webelieve that what is good for Hydro is not necessarily good for Ontario, that we cannot afford the economic waste of a state within a state, Undoubtedly, Hydro's growth and success esince 1906 has been a major factor in the conomic development of Ontario. Because its success is essential to our future development, we need to know what has gone wrong with government control of the Corporation over the last decade. The Ontario Energy Board has performed a useful function through its yearly rate review, and we are concerned about the Board's lack of power as the regulatory body responsible for reviewing Hydro rate increases. We submit that the Board's annual review is seen as little more than a charade, that Ontarians have been falsely led to believe by the provincial government that Hydro is accountable to the Board. Under the Power Corporation Act, the Board's report is not binding upon Hydro, making the Board simply advisory. Therefore Hydro, with a virtual monopoly. sets its Own rates. Why must a gas company live with rats increase recommendations by the Board, while Hydro' remains exempt? The Board should make it clear to the government that it will not continue to be used in this way, recommending that it have final responsibility for approving rate changes. Hydro has'neither the openness nor the political accountability necessary. Of crucial importance is the 3oard's inability to examine the real reasons for spiralling Hydro rates - its grandiose expansion program. It must be made clear to government that the credibility of the entire hearing process is at stake unless the Board has access to primary cost data. The Board needs to examine in particular the continua• tion of the Darlington nuclear project. Ten to twelve billion dollars will be sunk into this "White Elephant" whose power won't be SOS Villa PARTS SPECIALS Discount rJ on Bolts & Nuts Bakers Dozen Buy a case of Multi -Purpose Grease and get one tube of grease FREE or a grease gun "end" FREE 111 'tus SEAFOR R H 527•O12O FARM EQUIPMENT LIMITED SFAFOPTH • AVi • CAM8PIDGE • WOODSIOCK rig needed for (years, Examination should include Hydros deliberate avoidance of the co -generation alternative, and the deliberate delay of the hydraulic program. Failing a thorough and independent examination, hearings are an exercise in futility. The government has cut off all avenues of control of Hydro, giving the Energy Board few powers, disbanding the Select Commit- tee, restricting the scope of the Public Accounts Committee inquity. Hydro blunders and empire building are mainly responsible for dramatic rate in- creases. While Hydro spends some $22 billion on 12 new reactors, it prematurely shutk down existing thermal plants, accounting for over three thousand megawatts, almost equiva- lent to a Darlington sized plant. Hydro's surplus uranium supplies will continue to increase, due to loss of two units at Pickering for three years, Immediate steps should be taken to correct the uranium oversupply. The contracts should be open for review by the Energy Board or a legislative committee, in addition, millions have been wasted by Hydro on long-term heavy oil contracts with Petrosar - neither investigates by the Board or seen by the Minister. Final costs of cancellation of the contracts have yet to be determined. Next tveek: Hydro's borrowing prograrn.
