Energy Bill Relief Offers On-bill Credits of $750-$1,500

Do you know about the COVID-19 Energy Assistance Program (CEAP)? It provides an on-bill credit to eligible residential, small business and registered charity customers to help them catch up on their energy bills and resume regular payments. Residential customers can receive up to $750 and small business/registered charity customers up to $1,500—for electricity and natural gas bills, respectively.

 

CEAP is funded by the Government of Ontario and delivered by electricity and natural gas utilities and unit sub-meter providers (USMPs). To apply, contact your utility or USMP directly as each may have a unique approach for application in-take. CEAP funding is limited with applications processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Learn more about CEAP at www.oeb.ca/ceap

L'allègement de la facture énergétique offre des crédits sur facture de 750 $ à 1500 $

 

Connaissez-vous le Programme d’aide aux impayés d’énergie en raison de la COVID-19 (Programme AIEC)?  Il octroie un crédit sur facture aux clients résidentiels, aux petites entreprises et aux organismes de bienfaisance enregistrés admissibles pour les aider à rattraper leur retard sur leurs paiements d’énergie et à reprendre les paiements réguliers. Un client résidentiel peut recevoir jusqu’à 750 $ pour couvrir ses factures d’électricité ou de gaz naturel. De leur côté, les petites entreprises et les organismes de bienfaisance enregistrés peuvent recevoir jusqu’à 1 500 $.

 

Le Programme AIEC est financé par le gouvernement de l’Ontario et est mis en œuvre par les distributeurs d’électricité, les distributeurs de gaz naturel et les fournisseurs de compteurs divisionnaires. Pour présenter une demande, il faut s’adresser directement au fournisseur de service public ou au fournisseur de compteurs divisionnaires, car chacun peut avoir sa propre méthode de réception des demandes. Le financement accordé par le Programme AIEC est limité, et les demandes sont traitées selon le principe du premier arrivé, premier servi.
