Hydro proposes a 5.2% increase in rates Under a proposal submitted to the Minister of Energy today, Ontario Ontario householders would pay about $3.50 a month more for electricity in 1990, says Ontario Hydro Chairman Chairman and President Robert * Franklin. Hydro's proposal for an average 5.2 per cent increase in electricity prices will be revised by the Ontario Energy Board at a public hearing beginning in Mgy. "The main reason for the increase increase is the cost of new generating equipment being brought into service service to meet Ontario's five per cent a year growth in electricity use," Franklin said. "We also face increased increased costs for maintenance of the existing electrical system, for environmental protection measures and for energy efficiency programs," he said. Franklin said revenue of almost $6.58 million will be heeded from Ontario customers next year. This is $474 million more than the expected revenue for 1989. Increased sales are expected to contribute $149 million, leaving the remaining $325 million to be recovered through the proposed 5.2 per cent rate increase. The proposed increase is ah average. Large industrial customers served directly by Ontario Hydro would see their bills increase an average 5.1 per cent. Ontario's 316 municipal utilities would be charged an average 5.5 per cent more than in 1989. Based on consumption of 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity, the average householder who is served by a municipal utility now pays about $61 a month. Following the public hearing on the rate proposal, the Ontario Energy Board is expected to issue its report by the end of August. In the fall, after consideration of the Energy Board's recommendations and in light of the latest business conditions and financial outlook, Hydro's Board of Directors will set electricity prices for next year.
