The Government of Ontario is providing funding to support registered small business customers and registered charities, struggling to pay their energy bills as a result of COVID-19.
Eligibility criteria has been updated so that more business customers may qualify!
COVID-19 Energy Assistance Program for Small Business (CEAP-SB) provides a one time, on-bill credit to eligible small business or registered charities to help them catch up on their energy bills and resume regular payments.
Eligible small business and registered customers can apply. More information available at Ontario Energy Board website.
There is no deadline to apply but CEAP-SB funding is limited and applying does not guarantee that Energy+ has CEAP-SB funding remaining. Applications are processed in the order they are received by Energy+.
Customers who previously applied but were denied will have their original application reviewed by Energy+ and will be contacted directly if they meet the new eligibility criteria, that was updated as of January 14, 2021.
