The PUB has received a General Rate Application from NL Hydro for a full review of its 2027 costs, including the purchase costs associated with Muskrat Falls.
The utility is seeking rate increases starting next year.
Hydro is proposing a 2.25 per cent increase effective July 1 of 2027 for island customers.
The rate increase required for customers on the Labrador system is proposed to be phased-in over a number of years beginning with a 2.25 per cent increase also effective next July.
The specific impact on customer rates will vary depending on consumption and rate classification.
Hydro is seeking approval of certain rate design changes, the implementation of the cost of service reflecting Muskrat Falls project costs, and regulatory accounting proposals to address “outstanding matters” from previous PUB orders.
A pre-hearing conference will be held on July 9th in the Board’s hearing room, to identify intervenors, set a schedule and address other matters.
Those interested in participating as an intervenor must file a request with the PUB by 3:00 p.m. on Monday, June 29th.
