Should Enbridge Expand Gas Infrastructure in Mississauga?
Official title: Mississauga Reinforcement Project
Enbridge Gas wants to build new natural gas infrastructure in Mississauga. The Ontario Energy Board is reviewing whether to approve this "reinforcement project" and what conditions should apply. The case is currently on hold (in abeyance) as of November 2025.
Why This Matters
Live in Mississauga or nearby? This project could affect gas service reliability in your area. It also raises questions about investing in new fossil fuel infrastructure as Ontario moves toward cleaner energy. Environmental groups are already intervening in this case.
What Could Change
If approved, Enbridge could build new gas distribution facilities in Mississauga. The OEB may attach conditions around costs, environmental impacts, or construction timelines. Ratepayers could see these infrastructure costs reflected in future gas bills.
Key Issues
- Should new gas infrastructure be approved given climate commitments?
- What conditions should apply to protect ratepayers and the environment?
- Is this infrastructure necessary for reliable gas service in Mississauga?
