The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) is helping make electricity more affordable for low-income households. The Ontario Electricity Support Program (OESP) will provide ongoing assistance directly on the bills of eligible low-income electricity consumers.The amount of the credit depends on two factors:
- how many people live in the home and
- your combined household income
For some consumers, the need to use more electricity is unavoidable. They may receive a higher level of assistance. These are people who rely on electric heat or medical devices as well as First Nation or Métis consumers.
