Fortis rates staying put

FortisBC has received regulatory approval from the B.C. Utilities Commission to maintain the cost of natural gas and propane for all customers through the end of the year. 

“With over one million natural gas customers and more than half of British Columbian homes using natural gas, it remains a popular and affordable choice,” said Dennis Swanson, FortisBC’s vice-president of energy supply and resource development.

“We do not mark up the cost of gas, so our customers pay what we pay, and since the cost remains low for us, it means we can pass these savings along to our customers.”

FortisBC’s natural gas is about one-third to one-half of the cost of other energy options like electricity for heating homes. 

In the Southern Interior, there is no change to the current approved cost of natural gas rate, which remains at $1.549 per gigajoule, which has remained steady since January 2018.

FortisBC is regulated by the BCUC and applies for rate reviews every quarter.
