Transportation services: buying from a transportation gas marketer
Commercial customers in some rate classes have a choice: you can buy your natural gas from FortisBC or you can fully negotiate the terms and conditions of your gas supply contract with a gas marketer who will purchase the natural gas commodity on your behalf.
The gas marketer delivers the natural gas to FortisBC and we use our distribution system to deliver the natural gas to your business.
Rate classes eligible for transportation services
The transportation services option is available to the following commercial/industrial rate classes:
- Schedule 3: large commercial customers using more than 2,000 gigajoules per year
- Schedule 5: high-volume commercial with demand charge
- Schedule 7: interruptible service for large commercial and industrial customers who can switch to another fuel during periods of peak demand for natural gas
