Naka Power says keeping rates the same for continuing customers a priority

The N.W.T.’s public utilities board has ordered the Northwest Territories Power Corporation (NTPC) to start paying Naka Power $48,500 per month to use a transmission line in the Hay River area, starting March 1.

That’s when NTPC is set to take over power distribution for Hay River from Naka, a change that includes the sale of assets. Naka Power will retain ownership of the transmission line that delivers power to the town.

The cost for NTPC to use that transmission line is part of an ongoing hearing between the two companies. In the meantime, Naka will begin collecting some of the costs through a revenue offset designed to help shelter its remaining customers from rate shock as a result of losing its Hay River customer base.
