As part of the approved deal, Haldimand County Hydro's 21,200 customers will see a one per cent reduction to their monthly distribution delivery rates effective July 1, 2015. In addition, distribution rates will be frozen for the next five years.
"We are pleased to welcome our new customers and employees," said Carmine Marcello, President and CEO, Hydro One. "Hydro One is committed to delivering great service for Haldimand County Hydro's customers and we remain focused on prudent management, efficient operations and improving the customer experience for everyone we serve. Electricity is critical to the lives of all Ontarians and we are here to deliver it safely and reliably."
Haldimand County Hydro will operate as usual until the transition to Hydro One is complete. This includes no changes to customer account numbers, bills, billing and payment options and service options until the transition to Hydro One is complete, which is expected to be sometime in 2016.
"Haldimand County is looking forward to a healthy and vibrant relationship with Hydro One as it assumes the responsibility of ensuring the delivery of safe and reliable electricity," said Mayor Hewitt. "We believe that they are best equipped to take this challenge and we are excited about the future opportunities that will come from this relationship."
On December 17, 2013, Haldimand County announced the sale of the local utility for $75 million. Hydro One paid Haldimand County approximately $65 million net after assuming Haldimand County Utilities' existing debt.
In addition, Hydro One has reached an agreement to acquire Woodstock Hydro Holdings Inc. Woodstock Hydro which is pending OEB approval.
Hydro One delivers electricity safely, reliably and responsibly to homes and businesses across the province of Ontario and owns and operates Ontario's 29,000 km high-voltage transmission network that delivers electricity to large industrial customers and municipal utilities, and a 123,000 km low-voltage distribution system that serves about 1.4 million end-use customers and smaller municipal utilities in the province. Hydro One is wholly owned by the Province of Ontario.
