Ottawa River Power Corporation has applied to change its electricity distribution rates, effective May 1, 2024.
The application also seeks to establish new rate riders to dispose of regulatory deferral and variance accounts (including material adjustments) and to establish a new account. The application includes a refund to customers of over-collected global adjustment.
If the application is approved as filed, a typical residential customer and a typical general service customer of Ottawa River Power Corporation would see the following changes in their total bill impacts. These changes do not factor in applicable taxes or the Ontario Electricity Rebate:
| Residential (750 kWh) | -$0.75 per month |
| General Service less than 50kW (2,000 kWh) | -$2.61 per month |
Other customers, including businesses, will also be affected. It’s important to review the application carefully to determine whether you may be affected by the proposed changes.
The application also seeks to establish new rate riders to dispose of balances in regulatory deferral and variance accounts and establish a new account.
