We have options available to help you

Combined with the Government of Ontario’s COVID-19 Energy Assistance Program for Small Business (CEAP-SB), Hydro One’s new relief program will help connect customers with up to $3,000 in financial assistance.

With CEAP-SB, small businesses and registered charities may be eligible for up to $1,500 in support towards their electricity bills. Newly eligible businesses and prior successful applicants with current outstanding arrears can apply for these enhanced benefits starting in January 2021.
