Ontario Electricity Support Program
New threshold amounts starting March 1, 2024.
The Ontario Electricity Support Program (OESP) provides monthly on-bill credits for lower-income customers to reduce their electricity bills.
Through the Ontario Electricity Support Program (OESP), you may be eligible to receive a credit of up to $900 dollars a year on your electricity bill.
- A monthly on-bill credit of between $35 and $75 is available to households earning less than $71,000 a year (after tax).
- If your home is electrically heated, or you rely on certain medical devices requiring a lot of power, the OESP offers a higher level of assistance.
Eligibility is based on the combined household income and how many people live in your house.
Who is eligible?
The OESP is open to residential customers only and customers must apply to the program.
