Your utility: Peterborough Utilities Commission
Peterborough's electricity distribution is run by Peterborough Distribution Inc., operating under the Peterborough Utilities Commission umbrella that the city has owned since the utility was first set up in the early 1900s. None of that history changes your windows and doors rebate, which is a fixed provincial amount, but it's the utility to contact if your renovation needs an electrical service upgrade signed off before the rebate paperwork can close out.
What Peterborough's winters mean for this upgrade's payback
Peterborough sits inland, away from any Great Lakes moderation, in the Kawartha region's cold continental climate — the 10-year average January daily low (2015-2024) is -11.4°C, with a coldest recorded day of -31.2°C. A meaningful share of Peterborough's housing stock is older cottage-country-adjacent construction not originally built to a year-round-occupancy standard, which makes window and door sealing a bigger factor in comfort here than the temperature numbers alone convey.
