Notice of Application and Written Hearing For Electricity Distribution Rate Change
Friday, Nov. 13, 2009
The Ontario Energy Board (the "Board") received an application on October 20, 2009, under section 78 of the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998, S.O. 1998, c. 15 (Schedule B), seeking approval for changes to the rates that ENWIN Utilities Ltd. ("ENWIN") charges for electricity distribution, to be effective May 1, 2010. The Board has assigned the application file number EB-2009-0221. The Board's decision on this application may have an effect on all of ENWIN's customers. The application was filed under the Board's guidelines for 3rd Generation Incentive Regulation, which provides for a mechanistic and formulaic adjustment to rates between cost of service applications.
Any change to the rates that ENWIN charges for electricity distribution will be reflected in the delivery charges. Delivery charges are one of four regular items on residential and general service customers' electricity bills and vary depending on the amount of electricity consumed.
ENWIN indicates that if the application is approved as filed, a residential customer consuming 800 kWh per month would experience an approximate 4.2% decrease in delivery charges. This is a $1.56 per month decrease on the total bill. A small general service customer consuming 2,000 kWh per month and having a monthly demand of 50 kW or lower would experience an approximate 3.8% decrease in delivery charges. This is a $3.04 per month decrease on the total bill.
