Should Enbridge Expand Natural Gas Service to Washago?
Official title: Leave to Construct - Washago Community Expansion Project
Enbridge Gas wants to build new infrastructure to bring natural gas to the Washago community in Ontario. The Ontario Energy Board is reviewing whether to approve this expansion project. This is a Leave to Construct application under case EB-2025-0271.
Why This Matters
Live in or near Washago? This project could bring natural gas to your area for the first time. That means new heating options for homes and businesses. Construction may also affect local roads and properties during the build.
What Could Change
If approved, Enbridge would build new gas pipelines and facilities to serve Washago. Residents and businesses could connect to natural gas service. The OEB may attach conditions around construction timing, safety, and environmental protection.
Key Issues
- Should the gas pipeline expansion to Washago be approved?
- What are the environmental and community impacts of construction?
- Is there sufficient demand for natural gas service in the area?
