The Manitoba Public Utilities Board has approved new natural gas rates to begin today (Nov 1st).
The current primary gas rate will increase to 9.1 cents per cubic metre, up from 8.52 cents.
Even though the primary gas rate went up, customer’s bills will go down.
Due to the changes, Manitobans will pay $127 less per year.
Primary Gas is sold on a cost-recovery basis without markup to Manitobans. Rates for customers that have signed fixed-term fixed-price contracts with either Centra or a private broker, will not be affected by the rate change.
