FOCA Report—Decision on Hydro One’s 2015-2019 Distribution Rates Application March 12, 2015 – The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) today released the final decision

on the rate proposal EB-2013-0416/EB-2014-0247. FOCA was one of the Intervenors

in this most recent Hydro One rate application, pertaining to electricity distribution rates

effective January 1, 2015.

The approved rates are based on the OEB’s determination of the revenues required by Hydro One to cover the costs of operating and maintaining the distribution system at a level of service that meets the needs of its customers. It also determines the proportion of revenue to be recovered from each customer rate class.

Hydro One had requested a 29% increase to distribution rates over 5 years starting

January 1, 2015.

The OEB Decision (72-pages)

See the FOCA OEB Submission to Hydro One Rate Submission EB20130416 (October 2014) (continued on next page)

12

The OEB did not consider Hydro One’s application to be sufficiently aligned with the objectives of their *“RRFE poli-

cy” (see footnote below) to approve the application as presented.The OEB thusly denied Hydro One’s request for

five year rate setting, but did approve a three-year (2015, 2016, 2017) distribution rate increase of 19%.

A copy of the decision and other related information is available on the OEB’s website atwww.oeb.gov.on.ca.

Some further background on electricity pricing in Ontario:

Electrical utilities are regulated in Ontario by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB)

Hydro One is the primary LDC (local distribution company) that serves Ontario waterfront communities

FOCA participates in Hydro One rate hearings on behalf of our members, and FOCA has members in every rate class

Utilities are required to collect (charge) revenues that offset (equal) their cost of delivering electricity from gener-

ating stations across the Province to your home or business via the high voltage (transmission) and low voltage (distribution) electricity systems

Delivery charges are only one aspect of your bill (though for low-use customers it can be a significant part of the overall bill). Electricity prices are set separately by the OEB.

These costs, along with government-imposed regulations and obligations, are rising, as is the cost of maintain-

ing the aging infrastructure

Key Implications:

The major decision by the OEB was to collapse the Seasonal Class. Customers are being reclassified ac-

cording to density.

Reclassification will have cost implications for all customers. Some will experience decreases. Many cus-

tomers see significant increases. Specific cost implications from the rate class realignment (to be imple-

mented for January 1, 2016) will be determined over the coming months. Hydro One has until August to

propose how to phase in any increases, and FOCA will remain vigilant during this period to represent our

members’ interests.

OEB agree with FOCA and others that Hydro One’s customer consultation in relation to its application was

deficient from the perspective of Seasonal ratepayers.

With respect to Hydro One’s proposed increased vegetation management budget (including the costs for

tree and brush clearing), the OEB finds that a reduction of $39 million to the total vegetation management

costs over the 2015 to 2017 period is appropriate. It is the OEB’s view that Hydro One needs to manage

this program more cost effectively, and to show continuous improvement in these areas.

In Memoriam

Barriault, Oliver – (1942 – 2015) In loving memory of Oliver Barriault, 72 years young, who passed away peacefully at his home in Val Caron on March 12, 2015 surrounded by his family. First love to his bride Judy (née Tilbury), with whom he shared 51 years creating ever lasting memories. Oliver was not only Judy’s very best friend, her confidant, lover and husband, he was her soul mate. He was a devoted family man, happiest when embracing life with Judy, their children and grand-children by their side at the family cottage on Trout Lake. Dear father of Nancy (predeceased), Victor (Chantal Boulay), Larry (Terri), and Chantal (Scott Craig). Cherished père to his grand-children Aaron, Krysten, Jenna, Sarah and Olivia; who meant the world to him. He was predeceased by his parents Wilfred and Corinne, and brothers Michel and Daniel. He is survived by his siblings Colette (Cleo Seguin), Rolly, Norm (Gaetanne), Ron (Joan). Special brother-in-law to June Westell (Peter), Colette Barriault, Guy Tilbury (Terry), Moe Tilbury (Annette) and Gerry Tilbury (Pauline) and fondly remembered by his close friends and protégée Gerry Courtemanche (Pauline) and Regan Pilatzke (Kim). He was regarded as a father figure, by many nephews and nieces. Oliver and Judy enjoyed a long and very happy life. They loved to travel but mostly treasured spending their time at camp with family and friends. If they weren’t working side by side, you could find them jumping off the dock or out on a pontoon boat ride exploring Trout Lake. He always found time for work and play. Morning and evening walks of the camp road to dinosaur rock or down Wiggle Road were a daily ritual, closing the day off with a sauna and an evening relaxing on the deck. He had a natural ability to turn any negative into a positive, as he would say, “Every day is a great day.” He was extremely proud of his family and encouraged them to be the very best they could be. Not only was he a #1 dad, he was their #1 fan. He was proud of every one of their accomplishments no matter what their choices in life. When Oliver was not at camp you would find him puttering in his garage, enjoying a coffee with his friends at Tim Hortons or treating his grand-children at Dairy Queen. Oliver was an experienced and accomplished hunter, gifted educator, mentor and exceptional individual. For over fifty years he instructed the Ontario Hunter Educa-tion and Safety Program and was a master instructor of the Canadian Firearms Safety Course since its inception. To many, he was known as the “moose guy” or the “bear man” and sought after as a speaker for seminars and wildlife conferences throughout the Province. He will be sadly missed by the boys in the hunting/fishing party, cousins, friends and colleagues. Born in Sudbury, he worked as a welder specialist–trainer at INCO, retiring in 1988 with over 30 years of ser-vice. In retirement he instructed and mentored students in the welding trade at College Boréal and Le Conseil Scolaire Catholique du Nouvel Ontario. Oliver was truly a wonderful person with a warm smile and kind words for everyone he met. A life well lived, taken to soon. He will be forever remembered by those whose lives he touched.
