An Open Letter from Leader Currie Dixon on Our Electrical System
In early July, Yukoners faced a 10 percent increase in their electricity bills, which will be the first of several increases that will total a 34 percent increase by 2027. For many, this sharp rise has been shocking and will cause hardship as it comes during a period where the cost of living is already a struggle. For those wondering why this is happening, these increases are the direct result of the current government’s failed energy strategy and poor political decision-making. The decisions made over the past nine years have had consequences and costs, and Yukoners are now starting to feel the effects.
