电费或再次上涨6.2% 麦坚迪无意阻止

(本网综述) 昨日(周二),安省能源局(Ontario Energy Board)同意安省电力公司的加价提案,全省省民电费即将面临新一轮的电费上涨。反对党指出,电费的再次上升会让自由党在今年的省选中丢掉执政权。

省电力公司加价弥补罚款损失

据悉,本省的电力公司曾向迟交电费的用户收取了过多的利息,被法院判罚款及缴交法律费用。于是,他们向安省电力局(Ontario Energy Board)申请提高电费,以收回1,800万元的罚款支出。

昨日(周二),这一申请已得到了省电力局批准。电力局在批文中称,如果不批准电力公司的加价申请,即是强迫电力公司的股东,也就是经营电力公司的各个县市增加开支。电力局认为,任何人如果明白这件事前因后果,都会得出相同决定。

同时,省能源局还要在短期内评估安省发电公司(Ontario Power Generation)的加价申请,要求调高电费6.2%,从3月1日开始。能源局正在研究这一议案,相信不久之后就会给出批复。

安省发电公司由省府拥有,负责生产安省全部电力的三分之二,其中70%的价格受能源局监管。该公司表示,他们原本申请的电费加幅是9.6%,但在省府的要求下,便将加幅尽量降低至6.2%,其中从大型发电厂生产的电力每度电加价3.7分,由核电厂生产的电力加幅是6分钱;而在此增幅下,普通住宅用户每月要多交1.86元。

虽然民众已被电费屡次涨价弄得非常烦恼,但是省府仍然不准备干预能源局的加价决定。昨日,安省省长麦坚迪表示,安省发电公司的要求应由能源局考虑,省府不会“指使”该局做什么。

电费上升会令自由党输掉大选?

从去年夏季开始,本省省民的电费账单便一脚踏入了“膨胀期”。先是去年7月省民的电费中加入了HST,帐单增长了8%;然后省电力机构又预测,电费在5年内会上涨46个百分点。

尽管民众不断呼吁政府方面关注电费上涨对居民生活的影响,但是省府总是强调电费加价的“必要性”。安省省长麦坚迪曾解释,省内的电力系统老化、急需维修;以及要在2014年前停用燃煤发电厂。关闭燃煤发电厂可以减少空气污染,省下超过亿元的医疗护理开支,所以加电费是必要的……

此外,为了减轻电费上升对居民生活的影响,省府还将在今年实施实施10%的电费退款。

昨日,保守党领袖霍达克(Tim Hudak)再次就电费加价指责省府“不肯正视事实”。他批评麦坚迪在处理电费的问题上,把安省家庭当作“自动提款机”。即使省府的电力政策弊病丛生、代价昂贵,也要省民负担后果。

省新民党(NDP)则指出,自由党省府对电费涨价“无所作为”会让他们在今年10月6日的省选中丢失大量议席,最终丧失执政权。新民主党评论员科莫斯(Peter Kormos)表示,这次电费加幅将会严重影响安省家庭。在今年的省选中,电费将成为重要议题。这一点上,麦坚迪以至整个自由党将会有口难辩。

从本地英文媒体的新闻评论来看,自由党省府在电费问题上也确实已经丢失了很多民心。在某家媒体的评论版上,12小时内关于该新闻的评论多达160多条,几乎所有的评论者都对电费涨价非常不满。很多人指出,既然麦坚迪在处理电费问题上“有失公允”,那么省民就将在今年的大选中给他一个“公正的”判决。

然而,在省议会内的两大反对党中,无论是保守党还是新民党,目前都没能拿出如何降低电费的方案,也没有承诺如果赢得大选便会降低电费。

让我算算电费实际加价 1 X 1.08 (HST增加部分)X 1.062(加价部分) = 1.14696; 。 我靠~ 一下子加价 15%!!!! 。 然后公务员在(较差)年薪50K+的基础上按照通胀率加人工 3%+ 。 普通纳税人?!不好意思,我的计划里面纳税人排在所有事情最后面!!!!!!

自由党专挑老百姓必须用的东西多收费, 来给贵族工会和大资本家好处.

起来吧,选民! 用你手中的选票!! 。 但有一个很现实的问题,就算另一个政党选上台了,也未必把费用降下来!因为前任已经背了加费的黑锅,那么我坐收成果就是了!! 。

这样更要把自由党赶下台,让他们知道自己做了见多SB的事。这就叫自掘坟墓。

应该怎样环保是不是该由省民决定?怎么麦坚迪总拿环保作借口嗑省民的钱关照自己的朋友! 现在的选举能保证选出选民想要的人?还是刚好相反?今年十月选举之后灾难就到尽头了?

你是指自由党省府对根本不需要回收费的草籽都收eco fee, 再把敛来的eco fee发给自由党背景的私人企业? 还是指强行推行比常规发电贵12倍的风力发电, 为此与外国公司签70亿的合同却拒绝向省民透露付款方式和合同细节?

"关闭燃煤发电厂可以减少空气污染,省下超过亿元的医疗护理开支" 省下来的钱为什么不用来平衡电费?........

老第, 你又被自由党的麦奸敌给骗了. 2009年安省用电137TWH(比经济危机前的2008年少用电6%), 其中煤, 天然气和核电占72.1%, 水电占25.5%, 风电占1.6%, 太阳能发电占0.8%. 煤, 天然气发电, 核电是传统发电(5分/度), 是自由党要用风电(70分/度)和太阳能发电(也是传统发电费用的好几倍)代替的. 假设减少1%的传统发电, 用风电代替, 1.37TWH要多花8.9亿加元,你说怎么能省下来钱来? 至于自由党为了推广高价的风电, 说"关闭燃煤发电厂可以减少空气污染,省下超过亿元的医疗护理开支", 根本没提要关多少煤电才能省下超过亿元的医疗护理开支; 假设关1%的煤电改用风电, 电费要涨8.9亿加元, 可是怎么单独计算出煤电减少空气污染的程度和省下的医疗护理开支, 汽车, 取暖等也污染空气. 你相信自由党有模型计算出煤电对全省几年的空气污染数据和对疾病的影响吗? 靠什么算出关1%的煤电能减少多少病人? 这个"省下超过亿元的医疗护理开支"的数字 更象是麦奸敌胡说八道.

PLEASE READ, PASS ON AND REMEMBER NEXT ELECTION. THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Here is what our Premier has done for Ontario in the past seven years. Remember...he had a no tax increase election message/campaign. He has increased all the licensing fees from your car to your boat including fishing and hunting. He introduced the health care premium (not called a tax) and some couples pay as much as $1,500.00 a year. He has put an ECO tax on many containers such as paint cans and window washer fluid most and people still don’t realize it until they see the bill - he kept that one real quiet. He put a disposal tax on all electronics. He put the disposal tax back on tires. And now he has passed the HST tax - the largest tax on the province ever and the only other tax in Ontario that ever came close to this in the past was the health care premium. He passed this bill even though 76% of the people in Ontario were against it. This HST will provide the Province with an additional THREE BILLION dollars a year. Soon, July 15th, we will all have our S.M.A.R.T. Meters on which we will have to pay perpetual rent and will end up doing our laundry in the middle of the night. We are also going to pay big time for air conditioning from now on because when we need it the most it will be in the prime time of usage. Let us not forget the E-health scandal with 1.2 billion dollars wasted and paid out to friends and relatives. What was Mr. McGuinty's answer to this? “ Well, if the people of Ontario don't like it, they can show it in the next election.” Nice attitude. This after he fired the CEO and then gave her a severance package of $300,000 - not bad for only being on the job for seven months. And what about the SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS windmill power plant contract that he awarded to KOREA ? One would think there was some place in Canada or North America that could have built these. He also closed the emergency rooms in Port Colburne and Fort Erie because there is not enough money. There have been two deaths since then because by the time they got to St. Catharine's it was too late. But he then awards a hospital in Toronto three million dollars - of course, that was in the riding where there just happens to be a by-election to replace George Smitherman! He has taken the richest most prosperous province in Canada down to one of the 'Have-Nots' and, over the past six & one half years, has increased the budget deficit from $5.6 Billion dollars to TWENTY SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS and he still has a year and a half to go. And don’t forget his nice little salary increase of $40,000.00 a year - millions of people in the province don’t earn even half of that. Have we forgotten all the MP'S who also got a 14% increase? And now that they've had their increases he comes out with a new budget to freeze all provincial employees wages for two years - a bit late don't you think. He increased the hydro tax by 10% in April of 2010. He has increased the tax on liquor and wine by 10% in May of 2010. He continues to permantently 'blight' landscapes across the province with unsightly wind turbines. But, Mr. McGuinty will retire with his nice comfortable pension and all his benefits paid. I hope this gets passed around the province of Ontario and everybody remembers the way we got screwed by Mr. McGuinty and the Liberal party and - remember - not one Liberal MPP had enough guts to vote against any of the above. Wake up Ontario ....!! · And all pensioners got no raise at all over the past 18 months!!!!!!!!!
