Alectra helping customers cut electricity costs with Save on Energy programs

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Dec. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alectra Utilities is partnering with Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) to help deliver Save on Energy conservation programs. The programs offer residential, commercial, and industrial customers opportunities to manage electricity use, reduce peak demand, and support a more reliable electricity grid, saving money on their bills and reducing overall system costs.

“Alectra is committed to empowering our customers with the tools and resources they need to make informed energy choices,” said Brian Bentz, President and Chief Executive Officer, Alectra Inc. “Through our partnership with the IESO, we are providing practical solutions that not only help reduce energy costs but also support a sustainable energy future for all Ontarians.”

"Ontario's government has launched the largest and most ambitious energy savings program in Canadian history, with dual missions -- lower electricity bills and a stronger energy grid,” said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Energy and Mines. “We welcome all actions to promote Ontario’s Save On Energy program, designed to reduce costs by rebating families for new windows and doors to insulation and now energy-efficient appliances."

The incentive programs are designed to help customers identify and implement practical changes that lower energy consumption throughout the year. From equipment upgrades to peak demand management tools, the programs provide accessible pathways for households and businesses to conserve energy and reduce electricity costs.
