3) Northern Strategic Plan Through the Northern Strategic Plan (NSP), the Provincial Government provides an annual investment of approximately $1.6 million for an electricity rebate to reduce the cost of basic electricity consumption for Newfoundland and Hydro residential customers in s coastal rural isolated diesel and the Straits communities (approximately 3,500 customers). The rebate brings the costs of the monthly Charge and lifeline block (or first block) of electricity for rural isolated diesel and Straits residential electricity customers in line with comparable Happy Valley Goose Bay and West residential electricity costs. It is intended to provide some rate assistance to residential customers. This electricity rebate applies to the Lifeline Block of electricity consumption, which is intended to represent electricity sufficient to cover basic needs, such as lighting, cooking and water heating, as well as the basic customer charge for residential customers. The average monthly electricity rebate, depending on usage, is approximately $45.00 -$65.00 monthly. With the NSP rate subsidy, residential customers in coastal communities pay the equivalent electricity rate as customers in East and West for their basic electricity needs.
