The $150 Inflation Relief Rebate on electricity bills will be extended, the Yukon government said Tuesday.

The rebate will again be applied automatically to ATCO Electric Yukon and Yukon Energy electricity bills, regardless of usage.

“The Government of Yukon is committed to making life more affordable for Yukoners and lowering the cost of living and doing business in our territory,” the government said.

All non-government residential and commercial electricity customers will see a $50 credit on their bills over March, April, and May.

“This allows Yukoners and Yukon businesses to keep more of their money in their own pocket, despite a global rise in inflation,” the government said.

“The government will continue to monitor inflation and costs of living to determine when to apply a further rebate extension to electricity bills.”

The rebate is provided in addition to the ongoing Interim Electrical Rebate, which provides residential customers a rebate of up to $22.62 per month on their electrical bills for the first 1,000 kilowatt hours of power used each month.

This is the third extension of the Inflation Relief Rebate. The program was first introduced in March 2022, and initially extended in September 2022.

“Yukoners are still seeing increased costs across many essential goods and services,” said John Streicker, the minister responsible for the Yukon Development Corp.

“ Inflation Relief Rebate has been extended to provide immediate support to help offset these impacts as our government continues to explore long-term solutions to inflation.”
