The Government of Ontario has created a program to help support small businesses during these challenging times. The province has pulled together $8 million to support small businesses that are struggling to pay their energy bills. The Ontario Energy Board has created the COVID-19 Energy Assistance Program for Small Businesses (CEAP-SB). The program provides a one-time, on-bill credit for electricity and natural gas accounts that have outstanding payments as of March 17, 2020.
Applications for this program are now open through Toronto Hydro and Enbridge Gas. Enbridge has provided a number to call to both check eligibility and to apply. That number is 1-877-362-7434.
Toronto Hydro is also accepting applications but online at https://www.torontohydro.com/covid-19.
