Should Enbridge Expand Natural Gas Service to Elliot Lake?
Official title: Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity - City of Elliot Lake
Enbridge Gas wants permission to build natural gas infrastructure in Elliot Lake, Ontario. The company is applying for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, which would let them construct and operate gas distribution facilities in the city. This is a short-form regulatory process at the Ontario Energy Board.
Why This Matters
Live in Elliot Lake? This could bring natural gas service to your community for the first time. That means a new heating option for homes and businesses. It could lower energy costs for some—but also means new infrastructure in your area.
What Could Change
If approved, Enbridge would gain the legal right to build and operate gas pipelines and distribution equipment in Elliot Lake. The city would have natural gas as a heating and energy option. Construction of gas infrastructure would follow.
