Electricity Distributor Recovery of Regulatory Assets - Phase 2

The Board determined that the Review of Regulatory Assets for Ontario Electricity Distributors would be done in two Phases. Phase 1 was the granting of interim rate recovery on April 1, 2004. Phase 2 was the prudency review of the Regulatory Asset balances. As a first step in Phase 2, the Board reviewed the Regulatory Asset applications of Hydro One, Toronto Hydro, Enersource Hydro Mississauga and London Hydro. In addition to the decisions on the rate recovery amounts for each of these four distributors, the Board also assessed what would constitute the best evidence, forum and process to determine the reasonableness of Regulatory Asset amounts for the remaining distributors.
