We understand that your electric bill is sometimes hard to understand.
There are many required elements that we must include on your bill for transparency that are mandated by the Ontario Energy Board. Niagara-on-the-Lake Hydro also bills your water and sewer charges on behalf of the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. All water and sewer charges have separate line items.
In July 2024, our bill design was updated as a group effort involving several other Ontario utilities. The update was performed to make the bill easier to read, clearly show the costs of your electric, water & sewer utilities, and to show you easy to understand charts of your historic usage. If you have any problems understanding the new bill design, please call us at 905-468-4235 or use our contact page to write us feedback.
