Ontario Electricity Support Program

There's help for low-income households

Customers living in lower-income homes may qualify for a reduction on their electricity bill.

The Ontario Energy Board's Ontario Electricity Support Program (OESP) provides low-income consumers with a monthly credit on their electricity bills. The credit amount depends on how many people live in the home and the combined household income.
