Residential Inclining Block Application 2008
BC Hydro has filed a Residential Inclining Block [PDF, 11.0 Mb] rate application, also known as the "conservation rate", which is a two-step rate structure designed to encourage residential customers to conserve electricity. This structure will be revenue neutral to BC Hydro.
The proposed conservation rate will establish a base rate for electricity consumption up to 1,600 kilowatts-per-hour (kWh) per two-month billing period (Step-1 rate), and a marginally higher rate for all electricity consumed over that base amount (Step-2 rate). The 1,600 kWh threshold is slightly lower than the average consumption of residential customers.
