Enbridge Gas is applying to increase its delivery charges for natural gas. General Manager Dave Charleson tells CHSJ News, if the Energy and Utilities Board agrees, the rate increases would not go into effect until after the winter heating season.
He says today they are not able to recover all their operating costs throught the rates that we charge to ensure that they start to recover more costs and keep them below the cost of the competing fuels.
Charleson claims residential customers who use natural gas will still be paying less than by using other fuels but he expects opposition from the industrial users.
