May 2, 2011 (Cornwall, Ontario) - Cornwall Electric customers will experience a moderate rate increase of 3.26% effective July 1, 2011. Michael Pescod, Regional Manager of Cornwall Electric, attributed the increase to the contractual provisions included in the long-term wholesale electricity supply contract negotiated with Hydro Quebec in 2008 and a billing adjustment by Hydro Quebec for energy previously supplied and consumed but not invoiced. Following this increase, the rates charged by Cornwall Electric continue to be less than rates charged five years ago.

May 4, 2010 (Cornwall, Ontario) - Cornwall Electric customer’s rates will increase 2.75% June 30, 2010. Michael Pescod, Regional Manager of Cornwall Electric, attributed the moderate increase and first in the past four years to the long-term wholesale electricity supply contract negotiated with Hydro Quebec by Cornwall Electric on behalf of its customers in 2008.
This long term agreement ensures reliability of supply and rate stability. The last retail rate increase was 2007 followed by a reduction of 6.2% in the 2008/2009 rate year. It is projected that future annual price adjustments will average at or near inflation until 2019.
