Businesses and residents in Niagara and across the province will continue to get some relief on their hydro bills.

The province will continue to hold hydro prices at a flat rate, but it will be three cents more an hour than we were paying before.

At just under 13 cents a kilowatt hour, the fixed rate is still far below the hydro rates charged before the end of March.

The relief will be in place for residents until October 31st.

Commercial businesses and industries will continue to get help until the end of June.
