"To help, residential and general service customers including businesses and other organizations whose rates are based on Holyrood fuel costs, will receive a one-time credit on their bills as early as July. This credit is expected to vary based on customers' usage and is made possible due to fuel savings at the Holyrood Thermal Generating Facility. Rather than spread these forecast fuel savings monthly over the next year in the usual manner, government will request that the Board of Commissioners of Public Utilities adopt a policy so that a credit will be disbursed immediately up-front to help people and businesses now when they need it most. The Board of Commissioners of Public Utilities will determine the details of this initiative, including the amount and timing of the credit. As well, for customers who require flexible bill payments, government is providing up to $2.5 million to waive the interest on overdue accounts for residential and general service customers throughout the province. This includes residents, businesses and other organizations that are struggling as a result of COVID-19 and will be for a period of 15 months commencing June 1, 2020." http://web.archive.org/web/20201128134744/https://www.gov.nl.ca/releases/2020/exec/0514n04/
