Published: October 19, 2026 at 1:11p.m. EDTOntario is not only reducing winter electricity pricing this November, but it is also cutting down on its ratepayer rebates. As of Nov. 1, the Ontario Electricity Rebate (OER) will change to 15.7 per cent, reflecting a near eight per cent drop. The rebate is applied on the electricity bill of all residential, small business and farm customers. “Our government continues to keep electricity costs down for Ontario families. With electricity prices falling this winter, we continue to provide an energy rebate saving an average family nearly $275 annually,” Noah Mawji, spokesperson for Energy Minister Stephen Lecce said in a statement. A typical customer, using 700 per kilowatt hour of electricity each month, will see their bills decrease by $23 every month now, according to the province. Before, the OER decreased bills by about $36 each month, or $432 annually. The reduction in the rebate percentage does not necessarily mean electricity bills will be more expensive. In the last five years, the OER has ranged between 13.1 per cent and 23.5 per cent.
