Newfoundland Power is asking the Public Utilities board for a 5.5% increase in current electricity rates for all customers effective July 1st, 2025. Last month, the Public Utilities Board was asked to complete a review of the utility’s 2025 and 2026 costs to be recovered in electricity rates. According to the Application the proposed rate increase is primarily the result of a proposed increase in the company’s return on equity from 8.5% to 9.85% and increases in costs since its last general rate application. Full recovery of Newfoundland Power’s costs, including forecast supply costs, could result in a significantly higher increase in customer rates than the 5.5% indicated in the application. A pre-hearing conference will take place February 1st in St. John’s. All documentation related to the application is available on the Board’s website at www.pub.nl.ca
