As NL Hydro looks for an illegitimate 6.5% rate increase —
smoothing in advance of socking you in the kisser with a Muskrat-sized punch —
Newfoundland Power (NP) has applied for a 1.2% increase also to take effect
January 1, 2019.
Electricity ratepayers are under assault at every turn.
The PUB has the best (legal) ammunition. It can say “no”.
The public shouldn't get careless either just because the
increase sought is smaller than Hydro’s. NP is attempting to establish a
precedent.
