Ontario Electricity Rebate to Decrease Starting November 1
What happened
The Ontario Energy Board announced that the Ontario Electricity Rebate, which the Ford government uses to soften electricity bills, will decrease from covering 23.5 percent of costs to 15.7 percent, effective November 1. This reduction means an average residential customer using 700 kilowatt-hours monthly will see a decrease of about $23 on their bill. However, the OEB noted that winter time-of-use electricity pricing will be lowered during the same period.

Why it matters
The reduction in the rebate reflects that electricity prices under the Regulated Price Plan have been falling year over year. This adjustment affects the financial structure of electricity bills for households and small businesses in Ontario.
The Ford government has shut down the Ontario legislature.
