CALGARY, AB. — Canadians can expect to pay more to heat their homes this winter due to the rising price of natural gas.
Increased global demand, tight supplies and the phasing out of coal have led to increased use for natural gas. Prices this fall have spiked to levels not seen in six years.
Gas distributors like FortisBC, Enbridge Gas and Manitoba Hydro have already advised their customers of rate hikes.
Residential customers in parts of the country will see their monthly bills go up by about nine per cent. Large industrial customers could see even bigger increases.
