The cost of the voluntary Renewable Natural Gas1 (RNG) program depends on the blend you choose. You can designate five, 10, 25, 50 or 100 per cent of your gas use as RNG.
Please note: With recent approval from the British Columbia Utilities Commission, all gas customers will have a portion of their gas automatically designated as Renewable Natural Gas1 beginning July 1, 2024. This will support B.C.’s clean energy transformation. No action is required from customers, and we’ll keep you up to date as more information becomes available.
Choose your RNG blend
As of July 1, 2024, all FortisBC gas customers have one per cent of their gas use designated as RNG, known as designated RNG blend. We continue to offer the voluntary RNG program so customers can choose to designate up to 100 per cent of the gas they use as RNG, inclusive of the one per cent blend.
The graph below shows the cost of a designated 100 per cent RNG blend for an average residential customer. If you choose a five, 10, 25 or 50 per cent blend, the cost will be lower.
Based on rates as of July 2024. Basic charges excluded. Natural gas price and 100 per cent RNG price is inclusive of the one per cent designated RNG blend.
Note: Gas use is typically measured in gigajoules (GJ). In order to compare the cost of natural gas and RNG with electricity, which is measured in kilowatt hours (kWh), we did a conversion from GJ to kWh so we can compare the cost
of all four in the same terms.
