Richard,

Â

One other thing in response to a question posed by OEB staff re: tax-sharing (see below). Staff notes that Chapter 3 of the Filing Requirements notes that if there is an immaterial rate rider, the distributor may request that the whole tax sharing amount go into Account 1595. Essex Powerlines’ response notes the amount only for the GS<50 kw rate class.

Â

Please confirm if Essex Powerlines wishes for the entire amount to be put into Account 1595 (i.e. for all rate classes) or if Essex Powerlines wishes to dispose of the tax sharing amount (i.e. this would result in the GS<50kW rate class to not have a tax-sharing rate rider).

Â

Tab 8 – Shared Tax – Rate Rider

OEB staff notes that for the GS<50 kW and Unmetered Scattered Load rate classes, a

tax sharing rate rider does not generate to the fifth significant decimal place. As per

Appendix B of Chapter 3 of the Filing Requirements which notes that in the event where

the calculation of any rate rider results in a volumetric rate rider that rounds to zero at

five significant digits, the entire OEB-approved amount for recovery or refund will

typically be recorded in a USoA account for disposition in a future rate proceeding.

Please confirm if Essex Powerlines wishes to transfer the whole tax-sharing amount to

Account 1595 for future disposition.

Response: Essex confirms that the entire approved amount will not be refunded to the

GS<50 kW class due to the zero amount rate rider and therefore Essex requests that

the whole tax sharing refund amount for this class should be transferred to account

1595 for future disposition.

Hi Richard,

Â

After review a couple things in the bill impacts, I noticed a few things:

·       The OCEB charge is still in the current Board-approved column. This amount should be removed as it came off customer’s bills as of January 1, 2016.

·       The debt retirement charge for the Residential rate class should also be removed as it expired as of January 1, 2016.

·       Since the filing of these impacts the OEB issued the decision to update the 2016 RTSRs and UTRs.

Â

Can you please update the bill impacts for these corrections and send them back at your earliest convenience.

Â

Thanks,

Georgette
