travel talk salt lake diversion hydro rate change benefits rural ontario on january 1 1944 the hydroelectric power commission of ontario inaugurated a new uniform rate for the supply of electricity to all consumers served direct by the commission in the rural areas of ontario this new rate has many advantages and provides a saving to most farm and hamlet users the principal beneficial features of the new rate are as follows 1 2 3 4 s all rural power districts are now coordinated into one rural provincial power system with a uniform meter rate applying throughout the estimated saving to rural ontario per year is an amount exceeding 500 000 00 equivalent to 10 percent of the commissions total revenu from rural consumers in 1943 the service charge for farm users has been removed the service charge to hamlet consumers has been cut in half the majority ofall rural customers approximately 97 perentare benefited by this rate change only a small number approximately 3 are adversely affected to a minimum extent individual pills vary with use of electricity ii com bc der the check all three new rate and that for a similar period under the previous rate several conditions must be considered these conditions include the amount of electrical energy used kilowatt hours the former meter rate and the demand or peak load where additional equipment has been installed for example your first bill under the new rate may be higher than the bill you received a year ago for the same period because of increased use i e higher kilowatt hours in such cases a fair comparison can vva only be made by calculating the bill using the increased consumption li at the old rate and comparing this amount with your present bill compare your usb again many customers such as garages service stations refresh ment stands etcetera have increased their demand by installing additional or larger equipment in such cases their bills may now be increased since tht higher demand or peak load results m a larger number of kilowatt hours being billed under the first and second block increased load tatcs some consumers using electricity in very small amounts have received minimum bills in these cases it should be noted that they are entitled to use additional electricity as allowed for in the minimum charge without extra cost these explanations arc given as a guide to assist you m applying the new rates if you need further information ask your rural district superintendent new services wartime restrictions and difficulties add considerably to the problem of providing electric service your rural district superintendent will connect approved farm services as quickly as the shortage of materials and manpower will permit the hydroelectric power commission of ontario
