(...)Council starts spending phantom hydro dividend surplus

No one knows if the city will collect a larger hydro dividend next year, but council is already looting the phantom surplus.

Hydro Ottawa guarantees sending the city at least a $20-million dividend each year. Any extra money is a bonus for the city.

The city is the hydro utility’s sole shareholder.

The environment committee previously voted in favour of using any hydro dividend surplus for renewable energy projects.
