If you are having trouble making ends meet and can not pay your ENWIN bill, the utility is offering assistance.

- Those are ENWIN customers whose account was in good standing on March 17, 2020, or is enrolled in an arrears payment agreement for amounts owed after March 17.
- Those who have failed to make a complete payment on at least two bills since the start of the pandemic and has an overdue balance.
- Those who are unemployed or their spouse living in the same home is unemployed and has received employment insurance or the Canada Emergency Response Benefit.
- Applicant must not be receiving financial assistance through the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program or the Ontario Electricity Support Program.
Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until the funding is gone.
