TORONTO, Nov. 3, 2017 /CNW/ - The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) is bringing its rate review process to Sioux Lookout. The province's energy regulator has received an application from Sioux Lookout Hydro to increase typical residential electricity distribution rates by $5.76 per month. Other customers may also be affected. This application may impact customer bills for the next five years, starting May 1, 2018.
