EnBridge Gas Is Denied Rate Increase

Residential and large customers of Enbridge Gas are feeling victorious. The company has been denied an interim increase on its delivery rate for natural gas by the Energy and Utilities Board. A day long oral hearing was held at the EUB office in City Hall Monday which heard from several companies and municipalities opposed to the hike that would have taken effect January,1st.



If approved delivery rates for residential customers would have risen by ten per cent and large corporate clients would have seen their delivery rates double.
