Winter Electrical Affordability Rebate Program

The Government of Yukon recently announced that the Interim Electrical Rebate (IER) will be replaced with the new Winter Electrical Affordability Rebate program. The IER rebate will no longer be applied to customer bills as of April 1, 2025. The new rebate program begins in October 2025 and will be automatically applied to customers’ electricity bills from October to March, when electricity bills are highest. On average, residential electricity customers have received a discount of approximately $178 per year through the current Interim Electrical Rebate. The new Winter Electrical Affordability Rebate will see Yukon residential ratepayers receive a discount of up to nearly $203 per year.
