Natural gas and electric rates news

Natural gas commodity rate change

Effective August 1, 2025, the gas commodity rate is decreasing from 9.61¢ to 7.99¢ per cubic metre, and the delivery rate is decreasing from 13.65¢ to 13.52¢ per cubic metre. The combined bill impact for the typical residential customer’s annual natural gas bill is a decrease of approximately 5.5% or $36 per year. For larger volume customers, annualized bill impacts will range from decreases of 6.2% to 12.0% depending on customer rate class and consumption. These decreases are the result of changes in the price we pay for natural gas.

Gas commodity and delivery rates may be adjusted each gas quarter (February, May, August and November) for increases or decreases to the forecast costs of natural gas supply. We earn no profit on the sale of gas commodity. The price we pay is passed directly on to our customers with no markup – you pay what we pay.

To help with the impact of quarterly fluctuations caused by market prices, we offer our customers the option of paying their natural gas bills in equal monthly payments through our Equal Payment Plan.
