They pulled the plug on our ownership of EPCOR power generating assets.
They pulled the plug on citizens voting yes or no to ownership.
They pulled the plug on democracy and kept us in the dark before the decision to sell and for three weeks after.
Take Action for the Future of Our Power
Why should we all be concerned:
- The decision affects every business operator, homeowner and renter in Edmonton as EPCOR’s electrical generating assets are reported to be worth approximately $5 billion dollars.
- In its 2008 Annual Report, EPCOR reported that it paid over $130 million in dividends and Edmonton taxes would have been 25% higher if the City had not owned EPCOR.
- Edmontonians are proud of their EPCOR, its employees, its service. We do not want to lose the quality and reliability of supply we have build and owned for 118 years.
- This is an issue of democracy — the true owners of EPCOR, the citizens of Edmonton, were never consulted on this plan and we are told that we cannot even see the details of the sale.
