Let's begin with your Natural Gas utility Enbridge (For Union Gas customers click here )
Customer Charge
This charge is a fixed amount billed to all accounts, every month, with or without gas consumption.
Delivery to You
This charge reflects the costs to safely and reliably deliver the natural gas to your home or business.
Transportation to Enbridge
This charge reflects the cost of transporting natural gas from Western Canada and the United States to Ontario.
Cost adjustment
Used for costs that are passed on to customers with no mark up, such as the cost of natural gas and the cost of transporting natural gas. The utility uses adjustments to ensure that in the end, customers receiving the product or service from them pay exactly what they paid. The adjustment can be a charge or a refund and may include components for natural gas supply, transportation, and delivery.
Gas supply charge
This is the cost of the actual natural gas commodity that is consumed by your home or business. The rate you pay per cubic meter of natural gas is the part of the bill where Canadian Energy Protection will protect you from fluctuations and any increases that occur.
