This was a poorly thought out program. Also note that over the last 7 years fFortis with the permission of the BC Utilities Commision has doubled the cost per KwH to consummers and they are proposing to ask for more large increases. They claim this is to cover upgrades as we experience more frequent and longer outages.

Maybe if they cut back on management and the hefty salaries plus a bonus etc. People have only so much they can live on and every time you add rate increases it can mean that they have to go without food etc. to make the difference. You have made enough money on the strike to cover any rate increases you want plus work out a deal with your employees that are on strike. You have too many paper pushers (management) that only work and juggle numbers to make their jobs look worth while.

infrared heaters, one up and one down. They worked very well but the cost was extremely high with the exorbitant Fortis rates. We are on a monthly equal payment plan with Fortis and we pay $300 every month. We heat approx. 2000 sq. ft.
Our daughter has an electric furnace and pays $275 every month to heat 1200 sq. ft.
It is a real hardship for both families.

My average winter bill living in Alberta when it would drop down to minus 40 for a week at a time was $25 a month.

Electricity provided through Fortis is completely unaffordable. There is not much of a financial break during the summer months. Fortis has no competition and they can charge as much as they want and they do.

People are suffering financially. People also can't keep warm because they can't afford to pay. Not being able to keep warm causes health problems. Not being able to cover the costs of other essential needs because Fortis takes most of your income, causes hardship and health problems. Why is this legal?
