People in the province who use natural gas in their homes will be paying an estimated 20 dollars more a month.
The Provincial Energy and Utilities Board has given Enbridge Gas the okay to raise its distribution rates for residential customers.
Enbridge has frozen the distribution costs for the largest natural gas users in the province who have been complaining the rates are too high for them to remain competitive.
The provincial government and Enbridge are negotiating a new price setting formula.
