The cost of the voluntary Renewable Natural Gas1 (RNG) program depends on the blend you choose. You can designate five, 10, 25, 50 or 100 per cent of your gas use as RNG.
Choose your RNG blend
As of July 1, 2026, most FortisBC gas customers have 3.5 per cent of their gas use designated as RNG, known as designated RNG blend. We continue to offer the voluntary RNG program so customers can choose to designate up to 100 per cent of the gas they use as RNG, inclusive of the 3.5 per cent blend.
The graph below shows the cost of a designated 100 per cent RNG blend for an average residential customer. If you choose a five, 10, 25 or 50 per cent blend, the cost will be lower.
Based on FortisBC gas and RNG rates as of July 2026. Basic charges are excluded. Natural gas price and designated 100 per cent RNG blend price is inclusive of the 3.5 per cent designated RNG blend. BC Hydro electricity rates are as of July 1, 2026. Basic charges are excluded. Gas use is typically measured in gigajoules (GJ). In order to compare the cost of natural gas and RNG with electricity, which is measured in kilowatt hours (kWh), we did a conversion from GJ to kWh so we can use the same measurement for price comparison purposes.
