Hydro One will be conducting a stakeholder consultation program between July and October 2007 to assist us in preparing our 2008 Distribution Rate Application. This application will be submitted in two parts: Revenue Requirement (August 15, 2007) and Cost Allocation and Rate Design (October 2007).

The main objectives of the consultation program are to create a forum for key stakeholders and Aboriginal groups, and Hydro One to discuss issues related to the 2008 Distribution Rate Application, and to identify areas of agreement and concern to assist in shaping the pre-filed evidence. Important aspects of the application include determining the work program spending that underlies the 2008 revenue requirement, as well as Hydro One's proposal to simplify its rate structure and harmonize the rates for customers of acquired utilities. This consultation is being carried out on a without prejudice basis and is not a replacement for the OEB process.

Hydro One's consultation program will consist of three discussion sessions held in July, September and October in Toronto with stakeholders who have a material interest in our distribution rate application. The groups invited to take part have participated in previous Hydro One distribution rate proceedings and include consumer advocacy and environmental groups, energy industry associations, Aboriginal organizations, local distribution companies and large distribution customers. Stakeholders invited to the discussion sessions were provided with Terms of Reference, which set the framework for participation. Download Q&As about the stakeholder consultation process.

Hydro One recognizes that other stakeholders and customers might share an interest in its rate application and consultation process. To ensure that these stakeholders and customers are informed about the process and have an opportunity to provide us with feedback, materials made available at the stakeholder discussion session will also be posted on this website.
