As the end of the electricity disconnection ban for residential customers has now ended, Niagara Peninsula Energy Inc. (NPEI) is encouraging customers to connect with them.

"We encourage any customer who is currently having difficulty paying their bills to contact us so that we may work together in order to find a solution," says Brian Wilkie, President and CEO of NPEI. "This has been a difficult time for everyone and we are looking to assist our customers as the disconnection ban comes to an end."

Wilkie notes there are a number of programs available to customers to assist them in paying their bills.

NPEI is also working with customers by providing a number of flexible payment arrangements including the Arrears Payment Agreement Plan in order to allow customers more time to pay outstanding balances on their account, Equal Payment Plans, as well as providing information on Financial Assistance Programs, including the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) and The Ontario Electricity Support Program (OESP).

As the NPEI office is not open to the public, we offer a number of methods to pay a bill including:

  • Save time and money by having your payments automatically withdrawn from your bank account each month on the due date, with the pre-authorized payment plan.
  • Online or telephone banking through most Canadian Financial Institutions.
  • Through our "My Account" online portal, visit www.npei.ca to register.
  • Mailing a cheque or money order with the top portion of your bill to the NPEI office.
