Harmonized Sales Tax & your Hydro Bill

On July 1, 2010 the Ontario Government is implementing a change to the Provincial tax system. The new Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) will replace the current GST and PST, and this will have an impact on your electricity bills. Currently Niagara Peninsula Energy Hydro Customers are charged 5% GST on their electricity consumption in accordance with regulations. For electricity consumption that occurs after July 1st, customers will be charged 13% HST in line with the new tax system being implemented by the Province of Ontario.

Details and information explaining the rationale for the HST is available from the Ontario Ministry of Revenue website at: www.reg.gov.on.ca

Or the Canadian Revenue Agency at: www.cra-arc.gc.ca

Or by calling the provincial call centre toll free number at 1-800-959-5525.

As always, Niagara Peninsula Energy is seeking to provide value for the customer's dollar. To offer some options for customers in managing their costs, please visit NPEI's conversation section for available tolls and information.

Notice to All Niagara Falls NPEI Customers

Niagara Peninsula Energy Inc. (NPEI) has made some changes to their billing system in response to their customers’ suggestions.

Beginning in May, 2010, Niagara Peninsula Energy is transitioning all customers who were formerly billed bi-monthly to monthly billing. Providing 12 smaller bills instead of 6 larger bills makes it easier for customers, especially those on fixed incomes, to include the costs in their monthly household budgets.

Monthly billing provides customers with more frequent and timely information about their usage. This benefits customers. It allows customers to adjust their usage habits if they feel they are consuming too much. Conservation is in your hands.

If your last bi-monthly electric reading was taken in April, your first monthly bill will occur in May. If your last bi-monthly electric reading was taken in May, your first monthly bill will occur in June. Your due date will remain to be 16 days from your bill date.

Reading schedules will not change. Your meter will still be read bi-monthly. Therefore, every other bill will be an actual reading.

Watch your bill to follow changes to our payment, collection and deposit policies due to the monthly billing. We are listening and working with you to make your bill more convenient and affordable to pay.
