Enbridge Gas Receives Ontario Energy Board Approval for Rate Changes Effective July 1, 2024
Enbridge Gas recently received approval from the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) for rate changes effective July 1, 2024 (EB-2024-0166). These changes were proposed to the OEB earlier this month as part of the Quarterly Rate Adjustment Mechanism (QRAM).
QRAM is the mechanism Enbridge Gas uses to review and adjust our rates for changes in natural gas prices. This is done every three months to reflect ongoing changes in the market price of natural gas and to adjust for the difference between the forecasted price of natural gas and actual price from prior periods.
