6 The Canadian Statesman, BoWmanville, November 15, 1978 Section Two R e mem ber When. Rural Hydro Increases System Rates for 1979 Rates charged to customers served by Ontario Hydro's rural retail system will increase an average of seven percent in 1979, Ontario Hydro said today that the increase is necessary to recover the higher whole- sale cost of power as well as slight increases in retail distribution costs. Increases in wholesale power costs for municipal utilities and direct industrial customers were .announced last month. It was also announced that as in 1978, bills based on metered energy will continue to be reduced by an anti- inflation discount during 1979. It now seems certain that the high sales of energy to the U S. and better than predicted performance by the nuclear plants will result in excess 1978 earnings as measured by the AIB guidelines. The dis- count as adjusted from time to time will ensure that the rural retail system's share of this excess is returned to its customers during 1979. The effect of the increase on individual customers will vary depending on their consump- tion and classification. For example, a typical rural residential customers' monthly bill of $38.25 will increase by approximately $3. Details of the new rates will be mailed to all rural retail customers.
