On June 1, 2015, Kingston Hydro submitted to the Ontario Energy Board its five-year electricity distribution plan that will determine the company’s electricity distribution rates effective January 1, 2016 through to  2020. Many of our customers took the time this past spring to provide feedback on our proposed electricity plans. Their feedback was included with our application.

The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) has acknowledged receipt of our application to change electricity rates and has issued its notice to customers of Kingston Hydro Corporation in English and French.

As a next step, the OEB explains it will hold an oral or written public hearing to consider the application. They will question us on our case for rate increases. They will also hear arguments from individuals and from groups that represent Kingston Hydro’s customers. At the end of this hearing, the OEB will decide what, if any, increase will be allowed.
