This report details the principal conclusions of this comparative analysis of prices in effect on April 1, 2020. There are three sections. The first describes the method used to estimate electricity bills. The second examines the highlights of the seven consumption levels analyzed, with the help of charts. Finally, the third presents the results of the 21 consumption levels for which data were collected and compiled in the form of summary and detailed tables. The most recent rate adjustments, time-of-use rates, adjustment clauses and applicable taxes, as well as a profile of the utilities in the study, appear in separate appendices. 3 MAJOR NORTH AMERICAN CITIES AVERAGE PRICES FOR RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS1,2 (IN ¢/k W h)3 1927 Privy Council border (not final) St. John’s, N L: 13.60 Edmonton, A B: 14.29 Vancouver, B C: 11.51 Charlottetown, P E: 16.83 Calgary, A B: 14.83 Moncton, N B: 13.42 Seattle, W A: 17.83 Regina, S K: 16.51 Halifax, N S: 16.89 Winnipeg, M B: 9.60 Montréal, Q C: 7.30 Portland, O R: 14.62 Ottawa, O N: 10.29 Toronto, O N: 11.10 Boston, M A: 34.28 Detroit, M I: 24.02 New York, N Y: 33.68 Chicago, I L: 19.13 San Francisco, C A: 36.66 Nashville, T N: 16.60 Abbreviations Used AB Alberta BC British Columbia CA California Houston, T X: 15.96 FL Florida IL Illinois Miami, F L: 13.31 MA Massachusetts MB Manitoba MI Michigan NB New Brunswick NL Newfoundland and Labrador NS Nova Scotia NY New York ON Ontario OR Oregon 1) For a monthly consumption of 1,000 k W h; rates in effect April 1, 2020.

As well, taxes may vary 22 utilities: 12 serving the principal cities in the 9 other from one region to another. This, however, is not the case Canadian provinces, and 10 utilities in American states. in Québec, where, with the exception of territories north The results are based, in part, on a survey to which of the 53rd parallel, taxes and rates are applied uniformly. 14 utilities responded, and in part on estimates of bills For the purposes of this study, the bill calculations calculated by Hydro-Québec. estimate as closely as possible the actual electricity bills The results presented here show the total bill for various of consumers in each target city, based on rates in effect consumption levels. If the bill is calculated according to on April 1, 2020. an unbundled rate, it includes all components, including supply, transmission and distribution. TIME-OF-USE RATES PERIOD COVERED The rates offered by some utilities vary depending on the season and/or time of day when energy is consumed. Monthly bills have been calculated based on rates in effect In the United States, for example, a number of utilities set a on April 1, 2020. The most recent rate adjustments applied higher price in summer, when demand for air-conditioning by the Canadian utilities in the study between April 1, 2019, is stronger. In Québec, on the other hand, demand and April 1, 2020, are shown in Appendix A. increases in winter because of heating requirements. Thus, for some utilities, April 1 may fall within a period in the year when the price is high, whereas for others it falls in a period when the price is low. An annual average price CONSUMPTION LEVELS has therefore been calculated in the case of utilities with time-of-use rates, which are listed in Appendix B. Seven consumption levels were selected for analysis. However, data were collected for 21 consumption levels and those results are presented in the Detailed Tables. ADJUSTMENT CLAUSES The rates of some distributors include adjustment clauses TAXES that allow them to adjust their customers’ electricity bills according to changes in different variables. Since these adjustments may be applied monthly, or over a longer With the exception of the bills presented in Section 2, period, the electricity bills issued by a given distributor taxes are not included in any of the calculations.

  • First Quarter Report
    FIRST QUARTER REPORT YEAR-TO-DATE RESULTS For the period ended June 30, 2018 NEW BRUNSWICK POWER CORPORATION OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS Energy providers across the world are experiencing unprecedented change. Some of the global trends driving this change include– climate change, changes in customer expectations and behaviours, digitalization, aging infrastructures, competition, and more. As a result, NB Power is compelled to conduct business differently in order to help ensure adequate energy supply, meet customer expectations, integrate renewable resources, and provide low and stable rates. NB Power remains committed to meeting the needs of New Brunswickers in a safe, reliable and cost effective way. In recent years, New Brunswick has seen a rise in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Spring 2018 brought historic flood levels to New Brunswick impacting thousands of homes, cottages and businesses. During the almost three-week long flood, NB Power personnel worked closely with New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization to ensure customers’ safety and then worked diligently to reconnect customers once it was safe to do so. Although water can be a low cost source of energy for NB Power, when it comes in high volumes over short periods of time, like this spring, it cannot be used efficiently to generate electricity. NB Power is reviewing the impact of extreme weather events on its infrastructure and operations and is taking many steps to harden and improve its system to protect electricity supply for customers. NB Power is committed to helping all New Brunswickers with their energy use to help save money and reduce their energy needs.

  • 2. Canadian Electric Power Generation Sector
    2. CANADIAN ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION SECTOR The following section provides an overview of the existing EGUs in Canada. The units’ state of operation including fuel utilization and mercury content will be assessed providing thus, an estimation of total mercury input during normal operation. Air pollution control technologies, currently installed at facilities, will be listed along will their natural mercury capture rate. It will be assessed in concurrence with the reported mercury emissions in the air, water and soil. Following this analysis, Canadian low-mass mercury emitters and peaking units will be identified. Future hypothetical facilities, defined by Environment Canada, will be presented with expected mercury emissions. 2.1 Canadian electricity generation fleet Electricity is generated in Canada using five technological approaches: hydroelectricity, conventional steam power, nuclear steam power, internal combustion systems and forthcoming renewable energy like wind and tidal power. Electric production units have generated 623 TWh of electricity in 2007 (Tab. 2-1) corresponding to a 9% increase from 1998 total production.1 Public and private EGUs were responsible for 93.3% of total production. Hydroelectricity and conventional steam power covers 80% of total electricity production originating mostly from Quebec and Ontario. Total production in 2007 represented 57% of nameplate electric generating capacity (124.2 GW) for the entire Canadian fleet.
