Hydro One to Eliminate Seasonal Rate Class

BREAKING NEWS: 

OEB orders Hydro One to eliminate the Seasonal Rate Class

On September 17, 2020, the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) ruled that Hydro One will eliminate the Seasonal Rate Class, and shall move all customers into one of their other, density-based rate classes.
