Cost of gas rate to remain steady for FortisBC customers

Jun 7, 2024

SURREY, B.C.—June 7, 2024: FortisBC Energy Inc. (FortisBC) has received approval from the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) to maintain the cost of gas rate for its customers at $2.230 per gigajoule (GJ). The BCUC reviews FortisBC’s cost of gas rate every three months and will review it in September.

“The cost of gas staying the same this quarter is good news for the families and businesses we serve, especially at a time when the cost of living is continuing to rise,” said Joe Mazza, vice-president of energy supply and resource development at FortisBC. “Commodity rates remain stable due to strong natural gas production volumes and high storage inventory in Western Canada.”

FortisBC acquires natural gas at market-based prices and factors like supply and demand, weather and economic conditions affect the price of natural gas in North America. We do not mark up the cost of gas, so our customers pay what we pay.

Customers who have questions about their bill are encouraged to reach out. FortisBC’s customer service team can answer billing questions, provide information about energy-saving tips and offer payment plan solutions that fit your personal needs.
