Natural Gas Rate Change Approved


The cost of natural gas is coming down, but Union Gas customers in northwestern Ontario may still see their bills increase.

The cost of a cubic metre of natural gas will drop 3-cents beginning October 1.

The Ontario Energy Board says customers bills may still rise by about four to seven dollars over the next year.

Spokesperson Vanda Wall says it relates to a price difference Union Gas paid for natural gas over the past three months and the price it expects to pay in the next quarter.
