The Ontario Electricity Rebate, a pre-tax credit that is applied to electricity bills, will also be lowered from 33.2% to 21.2%.

With both RPP Prices and the OER reduced, the government hopes that typical residential consumers and small businesses do not see much of a change in their energy costs. However for larger consumers or those with atypical usage patterns, they may see more noticeable changes.
