Hydro Rates Going Up

Home and business owners in Northwestern Ontario will see a bit of an increase on their electricity bill effective November 1st.

Ontario Energy Board Spokesperson Vanda Wall says off-peak times will go up to 7.2-cents per kilowatt hour and mid-peak will go up to 10.9-cents.

She says overall says rates will go up 0.5-cents a kilowatt hour.

In plain terms, it works out to be about three-percent of the total monthly bill or about
four dollar more.
