What happened
The Ontario Energy Board is changing electricity rates for households, small businesses, and farms beginning November 1. The OEB is reducing the Ontario Electricity Rebate (OER) from 23.5 per cent to 15.7 per cent for these groups. The OEB stated that this reduction is possible because regulated electricity prices are decreasing year-over-year.
