Should Enbridge Expand Natural Gas Service to Tay Valley Township?
Official title: Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, Tay Valley Township
Why This Matters
Live in Tay Valley Township? This could bring natural gas to your area for the first time. That means a new heating option—but also new infrastructure in your community. Climate Network Lanark has intervened, raising questions about whether expanding fossil fuel infrastructure aligns with climate goals.
What Could Change
The OEB has approved Enbridge's application to build gas distribution facilities in Tay Valley Township. A motion to review that decision has been filed. If the review succeeds, the approval could be modified or overturned. Cost awards for intervenors are being finalized.
