Should Enbridge Expand Natural Gas Service to Tay Valley Township?
Official title: Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, Tay Valley Township
Why This Matters
Live in Tay Valley Township? This could bring natural gas to your area for the first time. That means a new heating option—but also new infrastructure in your community. Climate Network Lanark has raised concerns about expanding fossil fuel infrastructure given the township's own climate action plan.
What Could Change
If the approval stands, Enbridge can build gas distribution infrastructure in Tay Valley Township. Residents would gain access to natural gas service. The township's climate action plan may need to be reconciled with this new fossil fuel infrastructure.
Key Issues
- Should Enbridge receive a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to serve Tay Valley Township?
- Is natural gas expansion consistent with the township's climate action plan?
- Should the OEB's decision be reviewed based on the motion filed?
