Gas companies planning to amalgamate – want rate framework

Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. and Union Gas Limited have applied for approval to amalgamate to form a single company and a framework for rates.

The rates they now charge customers are set using two separate frameworks that expire at the end of 2018.

The Board would normally review the costs of each of the gas utilities to set new rates starting in 2019. However, the two have asked to defer its full review of their costs for 10 years and proposed a methodology for setting rates from 2019 to the end of 2028 using a formula.

The Ontario Energy Board will review the rate proposal in a separate proceeding and hold a public hearing.
