We’re on a mission to understand electric vehicle (EV) charging behaviour and its impact on our electricity grid. Our goal is to provide a better experience for all EV drivers. If you drive an EV, or you’re planning to buy one for your home or business, we want to hear from you.
Take our e-Mobility survey to shape new online resources to support EV adoption and your charging experience. Your feedback will help us prepare our grid for more EVs and apply for Zero Emissions-Vehicle program opportunities that have financial incentives for you.

Does your bill seem high this month? Remember to check your billing period. After the hot summer, your electricity bills may be higher, especially for those who use air conditioning. For energy-saving tips to help lower your costs, watch our video at: AlectraUtilities.com/SummerBills
Throughout the pandemic, Alectra has continued to support our communities through the AlectraCARES program. In 2021, we committed over $1 million to sponsorships and donations including:
- $35,000 to each of the mass COVID-19 vaccination clinics in Brampton and Hamilton;
- Two ICU beds to Alliston’s Stevenson Memorial Hospital Level 2 ICU Project;
- $5,000 to WE Care York Region’s PinkCars program, which helps seniors book and travel to vaccine appointments;
- $50,000 to The Frontline Fund, to help local healthcare providers with supplies and research funding.
Alectra proudly gives back to ensure our communities have the resources they need to thrive. For more information about our community involvement, visit: Alectra.com/Community-Support
When landscaping, plant trees far away from power lines so that they don’t grow close to overhead wires. Plant shrubs at least three metres away from green padmount transformer boxes or other electrical equipment. Visit AlectraUtilities.com/Safety for more electrical safety tips at home and work.
We’re proud to share with you Alectra’s 2020 Annual Sustainability Report, Discovering the Possibilities. This year’s report highlights our commitment to social responsibility, environmental accountability, and economic efficiency. The COVID-19 pandemic affected all aspects of the corporation and the communities we serve. While many of us worked from home, our crews and support staff were in the field, and we were able to maintain service levels and complete infrastructure improvements. Throughout 2020, Alectra built on its sustainability commitments, delivering impressive results for our customers, shareholders, and communities – continuing as a trusted ally in the rapidly changing world of energy.
