Why is there a set-up fee and delivery fee?

The set-up fee is a one-time charge on the account and includes an initial meter read.

The delivery charge includes the cost of delivering electricity from generating stations across the Province to your utility provider and to your home or business. This includes the costs to build and maintain the transmission and distribution lines, towers, poles and to operate provincial and local electricity systems. Your bill will increase or decrease depending on the amount of electricity that you use.
