Today is the deadline for Newfoundland Power to respond to information requested by the Public Utilities Board on power bills that saw a spike last month.

There was a huge public outcry and a protest is scheduled for April 1st after many residents received power bills for February that were considerably higher than the previous month.

The PUB subsequently requested that Newfoundland Power provide the regulator with information on how the utility ensures billing accuracy and to reduce volatility in billing.

It also wanted to know from Newfoundland Power whether additional measures are being considered and the reasons for the recent spike in bills.

The deadline for receipt of the information is 3:00 p.m. today.
