No action is required on your part to continue buying your natural gas supply at a variable rate from FortisBC. Simply do nothing and we will continue to provide natural gas as always.
As the leading natural gas utility in British Columbia, FortisBC has established a lengthy track record of dependable service – delivering natural gas, operating and maintaining natural gas pipelines, reading natural gas meters and providing 24-hour emergency service.
You pay what we pay
Natural gas — like oil, coffee and lumber — is a commodity traded on the open market. We purchase our natural gas from producers, then pass it along to you without mark-up.
This means you pay what we pay. We charge for delivery service, which is how we make our money. We don't make a profit on the cost of the gas itself.
Keeping our rates competitive
We keep our natural gas rates competitive by using purchasing strategies, such as hedging.
FortisBC operates under regulations set out by the BC Utilities Commission. These regulations prevent FortisBC from offering long-term, fixed-rate contracts or different prices to customers in the same rate class.
