TORONTO, July 17 /CNW/ - Today the Ontario Energy Board (the Board) issued a Rate Order for a Decision on a 2008 electricity distribution rate application for Chapleau Public Utilities Corporation (Chapleau PUC). A residential consumer using 1,000 kWh per month will see a decrease of approximately 1.69% on their total bill. The rate changes will take effect July 17, 2008. A table of the estimated bill impacts on residential consumers is available on the Board's website at http://www.oeb.gov.on.ca/OEB/_Documents/2008EDR/bill_impacts_2008.pdf. Distribution rates are set to recover the cost to deliver electricity to consumers and are based on an individual utility's cost of providing electricity service. Distribution rates are reflected in the "Delivery" line of consumers' bills. For more information please refer to the 2008 Electricity Distribution Rates Backgrounder on the OEB website site at http://www.oeb.gov.on.ca/OEB/_Documents/Press+Releases/bckgrndr_2008_EDR.
