Should Enbridge Expand Natural Gas Service to Blandford-Blenheim Township?
Official title: NEW - CPCN for the Township of Blandford-Blenheim
Enbridge Gas is asking the Ontario Energy Board for permission to build new gas infrastructure in Blandford-Blenheim Township. This is a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) application, which means they want to expand their service area. The OEB will decide whether the project serves the public interest.
Why This Matters
Live in Blandford-Blenheim? This could bring natural gas service to your area. That means a new heating option for homes and businesses. Property owners may face construction near their land.
What Could Change
If approved, Enbridge could build gas pipelines and facilities in the township. New customers would gain access to natural gas service. The OEB may attach conditions around construction, safety, and rates.
Key Issues
- Is there sufficient public need for natural gas service in this area?
- Are the proposed facilities appropriate for the community?
How to Participate
