Natural Gas Pipeline Expansion to Blandford-Blenheim Township
Official title: NEW - CPCN for the Township of Blandford-Blenheim
Enbridge Gas wants to build new natural gas infrastructure to serve the Township of Blandford-Blenheim in southwestern Ontario. The Ontario Energy Board is reviewing whether to grant a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) for this project. This is a written hearing process where the public can submit comments.
Why This Matters
Live in or near Blandford-Blenheim? This could bring natural gas service to your area. That means more heating options for homeowners and potentially lower energy costs. Construction could also affect local roads and properties during installation.
What Could Change
If approved, Enbridge would gain the right to build and operate new gas distribution facilities in the township. Property owners along the route may need to grant easements. The OEB will set conditions for construction and operation.
Key Issues
- Should Enbridge be granted approval to build gas infrastructure in Blandford-Blenheim?
- What conditions should apply to construction and operation?
