At ' the beginning of
FebruarY; the. Ontario
Energy Board submitted to
• the provincial minister of
energy a report on.Ontario
• Hydro's bulk poWdr rates for
1:976. 'The Board wants
. Ontario Hydro to reconsider
. their habitual growth ethic,
because' this "traditional
•anproach to power system
•
p
lanning is no 'longer ap-
propriate in North America.".
This report i. .actually the
second of two parts of .the
Board's submission to the
province on;Hydro's request
for rate increases thiS.year.
The first part, reldkeed last
• fall, saidlhat Hydro needed a
27 .percent increase in rates
this ;year to maintain its:
position. However, this
proposed increase was
subsequently cut to 22 per-
cent.
:In the second report, the
Energy. Board discesses in
some depth Hydro's
procedures and policies,
•
y;;'•.)
drawing attention to the fact
that although velo rri nt Force Hydro in uir n r has t d df i
capacity excessive. Two
years ago it had urged that
Hydro, reduce -its reserves
and depend more on' ierthet
utilities' reseries and now
• reiterates this statement.
• The Board 'considers 1394ro
should develop apattern bf '
wholesale rates "to minimize
wasteful uses of eneegy," It
shOuld also ensure_ that,.
customers who create op
need for additional
generating capacity should
paY theirfull share of the'
costs. •At present, Hydro has
• one- rate for demand - the
peak rate at which the
customer draws power - and
one for energy - the volume of
power drawn over the' year.
• Adjustments. are made to
reflect the needs of individual
• wholesale customers.' • The
Board considers that Hydro
should set • a range of
wholesale rates' and stOp
apparently giving -some.
customersspecial treatment.
The Energy Board has not
recommended another Task
and a reserve Capacity of 30
percent by 1981. The'pritari9
Ener_gy Board has stated that
the ''reserve margins at least
'to 1981,, happen :to be
unusually high", and have
recommended that Ontario
HydrolaiefrAimipediate:stene
to reduce its generating
"reserve margin." •
• A seledt committee of the
Legisleture ; has. been
studying Hydro's proposed
rate increases, • which would
have actually doubled prices
to the consumer in the- next
three years. These increases
cannot be regarded as the
inevitable result •of rising
cots or inflation, and are, -for
the most part, necessary to
finance Hydres expansion
program, the magnitude of
which is incorinpatible with
recent studies in the United
States which indicate that
projeZione of future
demands can be very sub-
stantially reduced by a
sensible —program of con-
servation, without affecting
e p
7..;f d plans have been • reduced,
future service to customers
has not been jeopardized -in
any way. Further cuts and
qleferments have .been an-
' flounced since the Energy
hoard prepared this report,
• however, although possible
effects on future customer
have not. been
assessed. .
North 'American electric
'utilities have in the past
assumed that all •electrical
demands must be r,net, and
generous reseevei main=
tained, order to prevent -
possible interruption sif.
service. To date they have
been able to raise capital
easily and pass on all their
costs, while lbwer unit costs
for larger protects have
favoured .• building over-
capaCitY. ,However, .the
economic situation has
• changed. galloping inflatIon,
•
highihterek rates, rising fuel
costs -arid the need to switch to
costly;nuclear ,generation
have • be contributing
factors to this change.
The Energy -Board states
categorically that Hydro's
• plan to spend more than $14
billion on capital develop-
' Merit' from 1975 to 1980 is too
it recommended an
'examination of future elec-
tricity needs for the Province,
as this responsibility has been
given to the Royal Com-
mission on Electric Power
Planning. The Board does
recommend a series of public
hearings by -itself and any
appropriate • inquiries by
other agencies, which will
examine, among other
matters, •the efficiency and
productivity of the
organization, the validity Of

social role Ontario Hydro
does and should play in the
Province' and the • en-,
i eon mental- i p a et- -and•
social costs of Ontario Hydro.
• Recently, Ontario Hydro.
announced that it intends to
trim some $5 billion from its
•ten -Year . expansion -
programme, •which will in-
volve cancellation ' of large
capital intensive •projects,'
although this reduction is, for
the most part a question of
de ls'-.—However, this $5
billion only -represents 1 /7th
of Hydro's planned expansion
programme of $35 billion,e
based on their own demand
into the 1980s. The
proposedoexpansion program
would generate a reserve
capacity of 39 percent in 1976
much for Oritarie eonsumers •
•
r4 to accept. During that period
the cost of new generating
capacity °would more than
double to something like $742
a kilowatt after two decades
• of stable' costs. The Board
• called • Hydro's margin of

While domestic consumers
will be seriously affected by
