Ontario Electricity Rebate
Expanded Eligibility!
The Ontario Energy Board announced expanded eligibility of the Ontario Electricity Rebate (OER), which includes retirement residences, common areas in condominiums and apartments and mobile home parks.
If you are not receiving the OER and you think that you may be eligible, please read the Notice of Eligibility carefully. If you are eligible, please complete the Notice of Eligibility and return it to us right away so that you can start receiving the OER as soon as possible.
The OER is provided to eligible customers, including households, farms, long-term care homes, small businesses, retirement residences, common areas in condominiums and apartments and mobile home parks. The OER provides eligible consumers with an 11.70% rebate from the province on the subtotal of their electricity bill. The rebate is automatic and automatically appears on electricity bills as a separate line item.
For a typical residential customer living in Oakville who uses 700 kWh of electricity per month with TOU pricing, the OER would decrease bills by approximately $13.40 per month. For a typical residential customer living in Oakville who uses 700 kWh of electricity per month with Tiered pricing, the OER would decrease bills by approximately $12.94 each month.
