The Public Utilities Board (PUB), which is responsible for regulating charges by Manitoba Hydro, MPI and Centra Gas, has approved a 0.9% rate increase on basic premiums and fee application for 2014-15.
The new rates will come into effect on March 1, 2014. MPI had asked for a 1.8% rate increase but the PUB declined. Long gone are the days when we received MPI refund cheques in the mail… on a positive note, motorcycle premiums will be reduced by 6.1% and off-road vehicles by 12.5%.
