NB Power easing rates for small businesses

NB Power says it might take another decade to fix what’s been unfair pricing for small businesses.  They’re charged 22% more for power than residential customers, despite costing less to run.  The utility is proposing a smaller rate increase for small-business customers, saying these rates should make things more fair over time.
