Enbridge Gas 2023 Energy Efficiency Program Cost Recovery (EB-2025-0189)
Official title: 2023 Demand Side Management Deferral and Variance Account Clearance
Enbridge Gas wants to recover costs from its 2023 energy efficiency programs through your gas bills. The Ontario Energy Board is reviewing whether these costs were reasonable and how much customers should pay. This is a technical rate proceeding, but it affects what you pay for natural gas.
Why This Matters
Pay a gas bill in Ontario? This decision affects your rates. Enbridge runs programs to help customers use less energy—rebates for efficient furnaces, home insulation upgrades, that sort of thing. Now they want to recover what they spent. The OEB decides if those costs were reasonable.
What Could Change
The OEB will decide how much of Enbridge's 2023 energy efficiency spending gets added to customer bills. If approved as requested, your gas rates could include these program costs. The Board could also reduce the amount if it finds some spending wasn't justified.
Key Issues
- Were Enbridge's 2023 demand side management program costs reasonable?
- How should the deferral and variance account balances be cleared to ratepayers?
