Information for Large Volume Union North Rate Zone Customers
Enbridge Gas Files 2023 Distribution Rates Application
On June 30, 2022, Enbridge Gas applied to the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) for a change in its annual rates effective Jan. 1, 2023 (EB-2022-0133). These rates have been set using the OEB-approved, five-year rate-setting framework for the period of 2019 to 2023. Enbridge Gas will not be proposing an incremental capital module (ICM) request for funding in 2023 rates, and as such, there will not be a phase 2 of the 2023 rates application.
Our 2023 rate application addresses the incentive rate-setting mechanism (IRM) related elements, which include the annual rate escalation, pass-through costs, capital pass-through adjustments and Parkway delivery obligation rate adjustments.
A range of delivery bill impacts for typical contract rate customers in the Union North rate zone are shown below. Individual bill impacts will vary and depend upon a customer's use of natural gas.
Rate Class | Proposed Delivery Bill Impact Range (%)1,2 |
---|---|
Rate 20 | 2.9 to 3.0 |
Rate 25 | 4.4 |
Rate 100 | 4.1 |
- EB-2022-0133 Application and Evidence, June 30, 2022, Exhibit D, Tab 2, Rate Order, Working Papers, Schedule 4.
- Bill impacts excluding federal carbon charges.

Daily Scheduling of Balancing Transactions
At this time of year, there is a greater likelihood that the daily scheduling of balancing transactions may be interrupted. If interruptions of balancing transactions are necessary, customers will be notified during the scheduling process and will need to submit a revised nomination.
Interruptible balancing transactions are subject to the rules outlined in the Priority of Service Guidelines. Two of the priority tiers apply specifically to direct purchase balancing transactions:
- Balancing (Direct Purchase) > 500 GJ/day, and
- Balancing (Direct Purchase) <= 500 GJ/day
If Enbridge Gas interrupts storage injections, it means incremental supply transactions may be interrupted as well. Customers would need to be prepared to reduce their incremental deliveries. However, ex-franchise transfer (EFT) and suspensions would still be available to those that need them.
Verification of Contact Information
Enbridge Gas requires up-to-date company and contact information for planning purposes and in the event of an emergency.
In early August, customers can expect to receive an email requesting verification of their information. Please watch for this email and respond as soon as it is received. Thank you.
