This program will provide a rebate equivalent to the provincial portion of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) (10%) on electricity consumption for residential use charged by the four electricity providers in New Brunswick:
- NB Power
- Edmundston Energy
- Saint John Energy
- Perth Andover Electric Light Commission
The rebate will appear on your monthly power bill, and you will receive the savings automatically – no application is needed. The rebate is available to residential electricity customers (domestic dwelling) who pay HST on their residential electricity bills.
Just look for “GNB 10% Rebate” on your bill reflecting January electricity usage.
This affordability measure is being put in place now to provide much-needed relief to many New Brunswickers who are struggling with the rising cost of living.
