Enbridge Gas Distribution Adjusts Rates

TORONTO, ONTARIO — (June 24, 2015) – Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. (Enbridge) has received approval from the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) for new rates, effective July 1, 2015.

Typical residential customers* who buy their gas supply from Enbridge will see a total bill increase of about one per cent or about $8 a year. As a result, their total bill will be about $942 a year. Natural gas remains the most economical choice for home and water heating in Ontario. Over the past five years, natural gas has been on average over 60 per cent less expensive than electricity and oil**.

The OEB also approved a Rate Adjustment charge for the difference between 2015 interim rates and final approved rates. For typical residential customers*, this will result in a total charge of about $9 ($3 per month) that will be included in the ‘Delivery to You’ charge on the July, August and September bills only.

“Natural gas continues to provide the best value to our customers, with the typical customer’s total annual bill still less than it was 10 years ago.” says Jamie LeBlanc, Director of Energy Supply and Policy at Enbridge.

Enbridge submits rate adjustment applications every three months to reflect changes in the market price of natural gas and transportation services. The applications are reviewed and approved by the OEB.

For more information on how natural gas rates are set, watch our video.
