Low-income families face biggest pinch, Ottawa Sund, 13 April 2006
Ottawa Hydro says the average family uses 750 kilowatt hours of power per month at an average cost of $76. That will jump to about $85.
Dana Silk, general manager of the EnviroCentre, a non-profit organization that helps people reduce energy costs, said low-income families are at risk because they generally use electric heating devices that consume a lot of juice...
"In the short term, it's a problem for landlords," said John Dickie, chairman of the Eastern Ontario Landlord Organization.
"In the long term, it's a problem for tenants."
