Emergency help to pay your electricity bill.
If you’re experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19, learn about our Pandemic Relief Program. We’re offering customers financial assistance and increased payment flexibility.
The Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) pays up to $1,000 of the amount owing on your bill (and up to $1,200 if your home is electrically heated).
Please note: Amounts shown are after tax. Income levels are set by the Ontario Energy Board, based on statistics from Statistics Canada.
Your household income is the total income of all people living at your address. The amount to qualify is based on both the number of people living in your home and your combined household income.
For example, a home with three people living in it with an annual after-tax income of $30,000 would be eligible for a LEAP EFA grant.

A more energy-efficient home can be more comfortable and use less electricity. If you qualify for the Home Assistance program (HAP), you could receive a new energy-efficient refrigerator, freezer, light bulbs and more, at no cost to you.
Sign up for Budget Billing and spread your electricity costs over the year. Avoid higher bills in the seasons you use more electricity and plan your monthly budget.
