Subject: Response to Hydro Sub-committee Report Report Number: CAO 19-19 Author: Ron Shaw, Interim CAO
Meeting Type: Economic Development Committee Meeting Date: Tuesday, December 10, 2019
Recommendation:
THAT Report CAO 19-19, Response to the Hydro Sub-committee Report be received. Background: The Town’s Economic Development Advisory Committee established a Hydro sub-
committee in June to review the Tillsonburg Hydro Inc. (THI) initiative.
The sub-committee brought forward a series of recommendations at the November 12, 2019 meeting asking:
• That the Economic Development Sub-committee advise Council of the concerns
raised by Tillsonburg developers and contractors;
• The THI be asked to address the issues raised;
• That the advisory Committee engage with the Chamber of Commerce regarding
any related initiatives on competitiveness in the energy sector;
• That a representative of the Ontario Energy Board or the Ministry of Energy be invited to provide an overview of Ontario’s electrical sector including changes to
the regulatory framework;
• That Town staff be requested to prepare a total cost comparison to other key municipalities to understand the total cost to residential developers and to ensure that Tillsonburg remains competitive;
• And That the Economic Development Advisory Committee be authorized to bring forward the information in this report to THI Board of Directors. At the November 12th meeting, the Advisory Committee passed the following motion:
RESOLVED THAT the Hydro Sub-committee Report, dated November 12, 2019 be
received as information,
AND FURTHER THAT Senior Leadership (SLT) be requested to review the document, including the interest and concerns of the Economic Development Advisory Committee
(EDAC) as it relates to the THI Economic Evaluation Model,
AND FURTHER THAT Town Staff be requested to prepare a total development
cost comparison to other key municipalities to understand the total cost to residential
developers and to ensure that Tillsonburg remains competitive, with a deadline of
December 5, 2019. The last few years of the changes that THI have implemented are documented in the sub-committee report and bear documenting here as well.
THI has reviewed a number of Economic Evaluation Models from 2014 and earlier and they appear to provide a specific calculation for contribution for each subdivision (as would be expected as capital costs and customer counts are specific to each development). We don’t see a reference to $500 which leads us to believe that would be a deposit per lot.
At that time, THI would undertake to contract or perform the electrical work for a system expansion; this included trenching, primary / secondary / service installation. The impact of the THI policies meant that the cost to provide electrical infrastructure
internal to the subdivision would be split on an approximate 50/50 allocation between THI and the developer. In October 2018, the THI Board moved to an approximate 90/10 funding model where essentially the developer would incur 90% of the costs of electrical in the subdivision
and THI 10% by passing the following resolution: And the Board confirm that THI use the EEM process capturing total capital costs (developer and THI) and ongoing costs defined as Operating, Maintenance,
Administration, Depreciation and Interest costs as outlined in the Distribution System
Code and authorize the collection of expansion deposits for exposure above $20,000,
and effective January 1, 2019. Please note that the actual allocation is dependent upon specific factors within each subdivision.
The process also changed where the developers would generally be responsible for organizing and paying for work on the subdivision upfront. THI would then perform certain functions not allowed to be performed by 3rd party vendors (terminations, etc.…) as well as inspections of work performed to ensure that THI standards have been met.
When system expansions were required, THI would complete an economic evaluation to allocate the capital expansion costs between the developer and THI. Under the work flow discussed above, an initial economic evaluation would be conducted to calculate the required expansion deposit (discussed below) and to provide an initial estimate of
the allocation of capital costs. A final economic evaluation would be run upon energization of the expansion utilizing actual costs. Key inputs into the economic evaluation:
• Capital costs of expansion
• Customer additions o By customer class o Anticipated in each of the next 5 years
• Incremental costs per customer additions (cost to service customer, maintain and replace infrastructure THI changed the costs to be included in the “Incremental cost per customer addition” that reduced the THI component to approximately 10% and increased the development
community contribution to approximately 90% (depending on the specific details for each project). Specifically, THI was moving towards a model that incorporates costs including Operation, Maintenance, Billing, Administration and Amortization to be considered within the economic evaluation. OEB staff, responding to a question from LDCs, has indicated that Operations, Maintenance, Billing, Administration and
Amortization are proper costs to include within the economic evaluation. The Distribution System Code (DSC), section 3.2.20, outlined the option for LDCs to collect an expansion deposit. The expansion deposit collects up to 100% of Net Present Value of the forecasted revenues calculated in the economic evaluation. The deposit
provides insurance that a development will be filled, as anticipated, and provides a revenue stream to THI to operate and maintain as well as future replacement of the capital infrastructure contained within the expansion. This deposit can be in cash or letter of credit form and will attract interest (time value of money) if the deposit was in a cash form.
The deposit is credited back over the 5-year connection horizon as the development is filled. Under this model, if the development is not completed and energized within the five years, the LDC keeps the deposit in order to maintain and replace the infrastructure which would degrade faster with it not being energized.
A key proposed change would alter the option of an expansion deposit to a mandatory process. When THI did this, concern was raised by the development community. At the
Economic Development Advisory Committee meeting on March 21, 2019, the committee passed the following resolution: THAT the Economic Development Advisory Committee advise Town Council that the
Committee is deeply concerned about impacts to competitiveness with respect to the
decision made by the Tillsonburg Hydro Inc. Board of Directors to increase the costs
included in the Economic Evaluation Model as well as to increase the share of these
costs paid by the developer. The committee was concerned that the change to the Distribution System Expansion
Costs and Charges will make the Town of Tillsonburg less attractive for new investment
and asked the THI Board of Directors to reconsider their decision while taking into consideration the current practices of utilities in the adjacent communities.
Feedback was received from the Development Community through the discussion at the December 5, 2018 Development Community meeting, at the December 11, 2018 Economic Development Advisory Committee meeting and correspondence received from interested parties addressed to the THI Board.
Hydro Operations Staff reached out to the regulator (OEB) to validate the costs included and the process in which THI calculates the incremental costs per customer. This value is what changes the allocation of the capital costs between the developer and THI. OEB Staff responded with the following on December 10, 2018:
“As stated in the DSC Appendix B, any incremental attributable costs directly associated
with the addition of new customers to the system would be included in the operating and maintenance expenditures.
Based on the limited information you have provided, Operations / Maintenance, Billing /
Collecting, Administration, Amortization and Interest (OMADI) can be used as
incremental attributable costs in the economic evaluation as long as those costs are not included anywhere else in the evaluation (i.e. no double counting).
The average cost per customer based on a distributor’s current costs is considered
appropriate to be used to estimate the incremental cost per every new customer that is
part of the expansion.” The Board, in response, grand parented anything that was already underway under
existing policies and deferred any expansion deposits until mandated by the regulator as per the following letter from Ian McKenzie. The THI Board considered stakeholder input as well as OEB rules and risk and passed the following resolution in January of 2019:
AND THAT the Board confirm that THI use the EEM process capturing total capital
costs (developer and THI) and ongoing costs defined as Operating, Maintenance, Administration, Depreciation and Interest costs as outlined in the Distribution System
Code effective January 1, 2019;
AND THAT the expansion deposit collection be deferred until it is mandated by the
regulator. The THI Board also passed the following resolution on May 28, 2019:
AND THAT the Board will include OM&A for the year 2019 unless otherwise directed by
the OEB;
AND THAT the Board confirm that THI use the EEM process capturing total capital
costs (developer and THI) and ongoing costs defined as Operating, Maintenance,
Administration, Depreciation and Interest costs as outlined in the Distribution System
Code effective January 1, 2020;
AND THAT the expansion deposit collection be deferred until it is mandated by the
regulator. THI went on to put on record that they believe they are following the Distribution System Code (DSC), the intent of the DSC and OEB staff interpretations of the regulations. They also assert that not following this direction would put THI’s future revenue streams and regulatory compliance at risk. As a result, the THI Board passed the resolution
above and will continue to use the average full cost per customer (including OM&A costs, plus depreciation and interest) in allocating the capital cost of future developments. The expansion deposit will not be collected until mandated by the regulator and at such time the THI Board will review the proper level of the deposits to be levied against future developments.
Discussion: The main issue that has been raised by the sub-committee is with respect to changes being made by THI as they relate to how they manage the costs sharing between THI
and the developer for Residential Development and how this will affect the ability of the Town to continue to attract residential development. In this respect, there are four key matters to consider as follows: 1. Is moving to a 90% developer share required by the Board or is it discretionary?
2. What would be the impact of changing course now on THI and the Town? 3. In terms of fairness, who should pay the cost of providing electrical infrastructure internal to the sub-division? 4. What is the Town’s recent experience with residential development?
Here is our analysis of what we know: 1. THI have reviewed the OEB regulations have concluded that it is incumbent upon them to move in this direction. The responses from the Ontario Energy Board quoted above say it is authorized and appropriate. When we examine other
utilities, we note that many of them including Hydro One use this model. However, we also note that some LDC’s in this area have not moved in this direction, namely ERTH. If moving in this direction is mandatory, it is not being enforced by the Ontario Energy Board. 2. Should THI not move forward on January 1st or should THI move back to the
current model during 2020, we would anticipate the following financial impacts. THI is aware and planning for approximately 300 new lots in 2020. The average cost of electrical servicing per lot is $3,000. Moving from a 90/10 ratio to a 50/50 ratio means that THI picks up 40% of that cost or $1,200 (as it is currently doing),
it would impact their cash flow in 2020 by approximately $360,000. That would increase THI’s asset base and allow them to apply that to their rate applications
and the impact would be spread over the town as part of the rate increase. It would not impact the potential dividends paid to the Town of Tillsonburg. 3. This is the theoretical discussion as to who should pay for the electrical infrastructure internal to the sub-division. It is a given that the cost will have to fall somewhere. The Town of Tillsonburg requires developers to fund all internal
infrastructure in a residential subdivision and the Town provides services to the development and funds any growth related expenses from development charges which puts the cost of the growth on purchasers of new homes as opposed to the existing assessment base. 4. Recent statistics on residential building permits are attached for your
consideration. They show that residential building activity has been strong in Tillsonburg over the past few years. The following chart was included in the Building Department’s last report to Council. Number of Permits Issued (Jan 1/19 – Sept 30/19)
TYPE 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019
Single Detached Dwellings 44 55 39 84 64 65 57
Total Dwelling Units 47 58 62 84 70 170 225
Total All Permits 257 309 220 341 351 348 362
The question is if THI moves to the 90/10 cost sharing model, if this will impact
the strong residential growth that the Town is currently experiencing. It is difficult to address concerns about poor service without specifics, we encourage
developers to meet with the General Manager of THI to allow for proper follow up and remediation if
required.
We have also been asked to provide a total development comparison with other key municipalities to understand the total cost to residential developers and to ensure that Tillsonburg remains competitive.
