Sounds like a good idea. We need more freebies in this life.P.S. Found out a couple of days ago that Hydro One cannot cut off your electricity (at least during part of the year) due to unpaid bills. Wonder if some people can game the system and get free electricity?
They are permitted.... I know because they did it to me about 10 years ago.... to turn off the power for a certain number of hours per day during the winter months in order to ensure your water pipes do not freeze.
The time was about midnight till 9am but I do not remember if that was when the power was on or off.
"One issue that Marin calls “a matter of urgent public interest” is the fact that Hydro One uses “empty threats” to push customers into paying unconfirmed bills.
“Over the past few months – during one of the coldest winters in memory – Hydro One has been threatening to cut off people’s power for unpaid bills,” he said.
Marin says his office received about 100 complaints this winter from people concerned their power would be turned off, despite the fact Hydro One assured his office it would not cut any customers’ power."
