Enbridge Gas Five-Year Supply Plan Review (EB-2025-0065)

Official title: 2025 Annual Update to Five-Year Natural Gas Supply Plan of Enbridge Gas Inc.

open Regulations & Permits Finance & Consumer Natural Resources
The Ontario Energy Board is reviewing Enbridge Gas's five-year plan for securing natural gas supplies. This annual update covers how Ontario's largest gas utility plans to meet demand, manage storage, and balance costs. The proceeding is in its final stages, with intervenors having submitted arguments.

Why This Matters

Heat your home with natural gas? This plan affects how Enbridge secures your supply and what you'll pay. The OEB reviews these plans to make sure the utility isn't overspending—or under-preparing for cold snaps.

What Could Change

The OEB could approve, modify, or reject Enbridge's gas supply contracts and storage plans. This affects the commodity costs passed on to roughly 3.8 million Ontario customers. Changes to load balancing or design day planning could impact reliability during extreme cold.

Key Issues

  • Is Enbridge's gas supply portfolio adequate to meet Ontario's demand?
  • Are the proposed gas supply costs reasonable for ratepayers?
  • Is the load balancing approach appropriate for system reliability?
