The OESP is an Ontario Energy Board (OEB) program that lowers electricity bills for lower-income households. The OESP provides a monthly credit to eligible customers based on household income and household size.
The program is available to all lower-income customers who have accounts with electricity distributors or unit sub-meter providers. Customers must apply to the program.
The OESP on-bill credit amount will depend on how many people live in the house and the combined household income after tax.
The Ontario Electricity Support Program (OESP) accepts applications on a continuous basis with no specific deadline. Applications typically take 6 to 8 weeks to process, and approved credits appear directly on your electricity bill. Existing recipients generally need to reapply every two years, or five years if aged 65+ or receiving a CPP disability pension. Note that effective March 1, 2024, eligibility thresholds increased, and existing recipients are encouraged to reapply to see if they qualify for higher credit amounts. Visit the official website for full details and to apply.
