Deferral of Global Adjustment (GA) Charges

Ontario is deferring a portion of Global Adjustment (GA) charges for industrial and commercial electricity consumers that do not participate in the Regulated Price Plan (RPP), starting from April 2020.

The GA rate for smaller industrial and and commercial consumers (i.e., Class B) has been set t $115 per megawatt-hour, which is roughly in line with the March 2020 value. Large industrial and commercial
consumers (i.e.,Class A) will receive the same percentage reduction in GA charges as Class B consumers.

The government intends to keep this relief in place through the end of June 2020, subject to necessary extensions and approvals to implement this initiative.

Industrial and commercial electricity consumers will automatically see this relief reflected on their bills. Consumers who have already received their April bill should see an adjustment on a future bill.

Please contact Festival Hydro with any questions about your bill.
