Enbridge Gas Distribution Rates 2024-2028 - Phase 3 Cost Allocation

Official title: 2024-2028 natural gas distribution rates, Phase 3

open Regulations & Permits Finance & Consumer Natural Resources
The Ontario Energy Board is reviewing how Enbridge Gas allocates costs across different customer classes. This is Phase 3 of a multi-year rate case that will determine what residential and business customers pay for natural gas delivery through 2028. A settlement proposal has been filed, meaning parties have negotiated potential outcomes.

Why This Matters

Heat your home with natural gas? This decision affects your monthly bill. Enbridge serves millions of Ontario households, and how costs get divided between residential, commercial, and industrial users directly impacts what you pay. The outcome could mean rate increases or decreases depending on your customer class.

What Could Change

The OEB will approve new delivery rates for Enbridge Gas customers through 2028. Cost allocation changes could shift how much each customer class pays. A settlement proposal is on the table, which typically means negotiated rate adjustments rather than contested outcomes.

Key Issues

  • How should delivery costs be allocated between residential, commercial, and industrial customers?
  • Should the proposed settlement on cost allocation be approved?
  • What is the appropriate rate structure for the 2024-2028 period?

How to Participate

  1. Review the Settlement Proposal and Cost Allocation Study to understand the proposed rate changes.
  2. Access all case documents through the OEB case file to follow the proceeding.
