Ontario Clean Energy Benefit delivers household bill relief while Ontario phases out coal, expands wind and solar, modernizes grid infrastructure, and creates clean-tech jobs, complemented by the Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit.
The Main Points
A provincial bill credit lowering household electricity costs and supporting Ontario's shift to renewable power.
- Saves average household about $150 on electricity
- Complements Energy and Property Tax Credit relief
- Supports coal phase-out and cleaner air
The Ontario Clean Energy Benefit came into effect at the beginning of this year. The purpose of this tax credit is to help families by providing 10 per cent off their electricity bills for the next five years, while important investments are made in the electricity system. Ontario families, farms and small businesses will automatically receive the benefit on their electricity bill.
The Ontario Clean Energy Benefit is in addition to the new enhanced Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit, which is putting up to $900 back into the pockets of low- to middle-income families and single people, and up to $1,025 for seniors.
According to a recent Ontario Ministry of Energy press release: "As part of the province's Open Ontario Plan, the Long-Term Energy Plan is moving the province to clean sources of power and shutting down coal power that pollutes the air Ontario families breathe. Upgrading and modernizing Ontario's energy infrastructure is helping to provide reliable power to homes and businesses and is creating thousands of jobs for Ontarians in the growing clean energy sector."
