The Panel will also commission an independent technical study of the rate application, bringing expert outside opinions to the review.
As part of its review the Panel provides the government with an opinion regarding the fairness and reasonableness of the proposed rate request, while balancing the interests of the customer, the Crown corporation and the public. The provincial Cabinet makes the final decision on the rate request.
