"With this increase, Hydro rates will remain among the lowest in North America," Campbell said. Hydro has originally pro- posed a 9.1 per cent increase in 1985 rates. The Energy Board, foliowing a six-week public hearing this spring, recommended a reduction to 8.6 per cent and endorsed Hydro's costing and pricing proposais. "l'm particuiarly pieased that the OEB recognized our efforts to control costs, and agreed that Hydro is comply- ing with the spirit and intent of the Inflation Restraint Program," said Campbell. "The Energy Board recognized there are certain costs that resuit from factors beyond our control, such as the value 'of the Canadian dollar and interest rates. These costs have to be passed on to the consumer, "Camp- bell said. "However, where we can directly control costs, we are adhering to the restraint guidelines. " Campbell said Hydro re- mains commiitted to its goal' of keeping rate increases at or below the inflation level over the decade of the 1980's. The specific increases to H ydro's individual customners will vary depending on. class rate increases and local use conditions.
