New B.C. Premier David Eby sworn in, announces $100 electricity credit
Nov 18, 2022 | 12:14 PM
VANCOUVER — New British Columbia Premier David Eby has been sworn in and immediately announced a $100 cost-of-living credit for residents on their electricity bills.
Eby has also established a BC Affordability Credit for low- and middle-income people starting in January that will provide up to $164 for adults and $41 for children.
He says people and small businesses in the province are feeling the squeeze of global inflation and his government is focused on helping residents most impacted by the rising costs.
The one-time cost-of-living credit will be applied automatically to residents’ BC Hydro bills this fall.
