Hydro Ottawa bosses losing sleep over electricity politics

The “politically charged environment” in the province over electricity keeps Hydro Ottawa bosses up at night, according to the company’s chairman.
Jim Durrell, making the utility’s annual presentation to city council, said the political climate in Ontario could create volatility in providing the hydro service.
Durrell warned against any political plan that “sells short-term votes” when the long-term pain could be “substantial” for hydro companies.
