Working Group

The Bill Affordability Working Group was established as part of a collaborative process to assess and address energy bill affordability in Manitoba.

Working Group members, with the help of a supporting research team, will consider options and measures to address energy poverty in Manitoba including enhancements to existing Manitoba Hydro programs and assistance and new initiatives.

The Working Group will produce and submit a final report and implementation plan to the Public Utilities Board setting out the findings and/or recommendations from the process.
