There's Help for Low Income Households
Beginning in 2016, lower income households may qualify for a credit to be applied directly on each electricity bill through the Ontario Electricity Support Program (OESP). The amount of the credit will depend on how many people live in your house and your combined household income. For more information on eligibility or how to apply please visit

NEW OEB PROGRAM OFFERS ELECTRICITY BILL RELIEF FOR LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS
The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) is helping make electricity more affordable for low-income households. The Ontario Electricity Support Program, or OESP, provides ongoing assistance directly on the bills of eligible low-income electricity consumers.
Low-income households that apply and qualify would receive an OESP credit on electricity bills. The credit amount is based on the number of people living in the home and their total household income. For some consumers, the need to use more electricity is unavoidable; they may receive a higher level of assistance. These are people who rely on electric heat or medical devices as well as First Nation or Métis consumers.
The program, designed and implemented by the OEB, came into effect on January 1, 2016. Consumers can apply online or with the assistance of local intake agency partners, including Low-Income Energy Assistance Program Emergency Assistance intake agencies.
Visit OntarioElectricitySupport for more information.
Information packages are also available at the Pike Lake Main Office, complete with mail-in forms.
Attention existing OESP Credit recipients:
If you are approaching the end of your eligibility period for the Ontario Electricity Support Program (OESP) in the next few months, you will be notified by the Pike Lake Golf Centre Limited Office by your preferred mode of contact. Your last OESP credit is scheduled to be on your upcoming bill. If you do not renew your application, your monthly credit will end and will no longer be applied to your bill. The renewal process can take up to 4-6 weeks so it is important to start the renewal process to ensure there is no gap in your OESP assistance.

Documents Required for Renewal:
- Social insurance numbers for all household members 18 and older
