Starting today, your gas bill is going up.
Enbridge Gas has received approval from the Ontario Energy Board for changes in the rates customers pay for natural gas.
It says when gas rates were last adjusted in April, the economic slowdown from COVID-19, coupled with an unusually warm winter, led to historically low natural gas prices.
But, as the economy recovers and demand for natural gas increases heading into the coming winter, market prices are rising.
It says a typical residential customer will see an increase of about $5 to $10 on their monthly natural gas bill, depending on where they live, starting Oct. 1, 2020.
The Ontario Energy Board has launched the COVID-19 Energy Assistance Program (CEAP) to help customers pay down energy bill debt incurred since COVID 19 began.
