FortisBC appreciates the First Nations, government and stakeholder feedback collected from May through August of this year for the FortisBC Cost of Service Analysis (COSA) study and Rate Design Application (RDA). The input will be considered, along with technical and financial information, as FortisBC prepares the final application for the BC Utilities Commission. The COSA and RDA filing with the British Columbia Utilities Commission has been extended from its original filing date of September 30, 2009 to October 30, 2009. All utilities review cost of service and rate design periodically to make sure rates reflect the fair and equitable allocation of costs. A cost of service analysis determines the cost of providing electrical service by customer class and rate design evaluates various rate structures. Rate structures direct how customers are billed for their electricity use.

If you have a larger house and aren't using one or more rooms, be sure to lower the heat to those rooms by closing the vents or turning down the heaters. Check your basement and attic to ensure you're not heating areas that aren't occupied.  |
