Ontario Electricity Support Program (OESP)
If you are a Brantford Power customer, and in a low-income home, you may qualify for a reduction on your electricity bill through the Ontario Electricity Support Program.
The OESP could reduce the cost of your household electricity by applying a monthly credit directly to your bill.
If your home is electrically heated, or you rely on an approved medical device requiring a lot of electricity, you could be eligible for additional credit.

Energy Affordability Program
The Energy Affordability Program provides support to income-eligible electricity consumers by helping them to lower their monthly electricity costs and to increase their home comfort.
Depending on your situation, you may receive different energy-saving products and services. Some participants may qualify for a free home energy needs assessment conducted by a trained energy professional that will help identify energy-efficient upgrades available for their homes, such as replacement of inefficient appliances and professionally-installed insulation and draft-proofing. These upgrades may be installed during or after an in-home visit.
Other participants may qualify instead for free energy saving kits. These are customized to meet their energy needs and could include energy-saving LED lighting, timers, faucet aerators and/or a clothes drying line.

Know Your Rights
The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) has set out customer services rules for electricity utilities, including special rules for low-income customers.
Brantford Power is compliant with these rules, and we encourage all customers to know their rights.
Visit Ontario Energy Board website for more information.
Avoid Disconnection
To avoid disconnection, it is important to contact us as soon as you receive that notice. Do not delay.
The quickest way to keep your electricity connected is by paying your outstanding balance. But, if you cannot pay the amount you owe, you have the option of setting up an Arrears Management Plan that will allow you to repay your debt over a period of time. It does not excuse you from paying the amount owed or from paying your new bill.
Payments may be made at most financial institutions, by cash, cheque, VISA or MasterCard or by mail. Late payment interest charges, calculated at the rate of 19.56% per year, may be applied to your account. Payments must be received by our office to cancel the interruption.
Options are available. For assistance, or to discuss your account, please contact our Customer Service Department at (519) 751-3522.
