The time has come for us to recognize all those who participated in ourelectricity conservation initiatives during 2007. Those St. Thomas Energy customers who qualified for rebates in the Peaksaver and Summer Savings? programs should see those credits applied to their bills sometime during the months of December and January.
Thank you to all who participated these programs! Some of the conservation programs, such as the Refrigerator Roundup, will continue this year. If you have questions about the rebates please contact us.
Why change the prices? The government needs to reduce the surplus in the RPP variance account balance and to clear the variance account surplus over the next 12 months. When the Energy Board sets prices, it adjusts for past differences between what consumers have paid and what it has cost to supply them, and it incorporates a 12-month forecast for future electricity costs.
Our full list of rates is available on our rates page.
