According to figures obtained by Global...
By the end of next year Hydro One's urban customers who use the most power will see distribution rates go down as much as 19 per cent, making their bills up to 4 per cent lower. Hydro One is Ontario's largest energy utility.


But customers living in the lowest density rural areas, who use the least amount of power, will be hit hardest, with distribution soaring by as much as 25 per cent. The increase will mean total hydro bills will be up to 11.5 per cent higher by 2017.

What can one say? If the reporting turns out to be accurate, the lower urban rate makes electricity a non-issue. Votes count, not voters. Please the majority and the Liberals keep riding the wave!

There is going to be a lot of thrust and parry from all party strategists to fight this, and other problems with the current provincial government.

Good on Global for keeping on their tails!

11.5%.... According to Wynne's track record of underestimating her bullshyte, that should work out to close to 115% (or better than double for genius Liberal mathematicians and spin doctors)
