It’s going to cost your more to heat and light your home starting next month.
The Energy and Utilities Board approved a 1.63 per cent increase for NB Power.
It is expected to take effect on July 1st.
NB Power says this amounts to less than $4 per month for customers.
NB Power plans to use the money for several thing including paying down debt, tree trimming, and infrastructure improvements.
The utility company says even with this increase, they are amongst the lowest electricity rates in Atlantic Canada.
Saint John Energy earlier decided it would raise its rates if NB Power did.
