Residential natural gas rates

Your residential gas rate is made up of commodity and delivery charges. Commodity charges are reviewed by the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) every three months, while delivery charges are reviewed annually. If any rate changes occur, the BCUC always approves them first before they are passed on to you.

If your natural gas bill is higher than you expected, there are a number of reasons why this may be. And, if you need assistance with your bill, our customer contact centre is always here to help. Call us at 1-888-224-2710.
