Ha, you should be so lucky you're not living in Ontario. 42% increase in 5 yrs. and more just announced!protest rate hikes of 10% in 1 year
The most expensive one was the the gas plant that got cancelled after it was partially built so the former Premier could his party re-elected in that riding. That cancellation cost a BILLION $$$ Even in Cdn $, that's a whack of a lot of money. It's still the subject of a lot of hatred.lots of expensive new power plants
The Ontario story is way longer & more frustrating than that. The original goal was to be off coal by 2009, but it was a political promise & the gov't underestimated the task badly, then refused to admit so for much too long & ended up wasting a whole lot of money starting & stopping decommissioning & construction on plants. Doug's gas plant is just one example.Ontario decided to get off coal about 10 years ago and substantially reduce carbon, lots of expensive new power plants to pay off and a whole bunch of renewable subsidies have to get paid for somehow.
Yes but it has been replaced with new charges. They will be putting on an extra tax that is based on your income. High income = much higher hydro bills, low income gets a modest reduction.I the debt charge is about due to finally come off the bills. Is that true Doug?
That is the best quote I have heard on this in years.The Ontario story is way longer & more frustrating than that.
