Fun fact, electrical rates for distribution are going up over 50% over the next few years because of infrastructure requirements however Hydro is giving the city 22 million a year in dividends. Over the past 15 years Hydro Ottawa has given a quarter billion dollars to the city and let its infrastructure become obsolete.
Apologies for the second comment, but it’s almost infers that the increase in distribution rates will go to increasing the dividends to the city, making it in reality a backdoor property tax increase.
