On March 15, 2025, the federal government set the federal carbon charge to $0.00, effective April 1, 2025, through amending Regulations under the federal Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act.
Effective April 1, 2025, the federal carbon charge will be removed from customer bills. The removal of the federal carbon charge is applicable to all Enbridge Gas customers that were charged the federal carbon charge on their bills.
Customers who only contract for storage and transportation services (i.e. natural gas is purchased from a counterparty other than Enbridge Gas) were not subject to the federal carbon charge on Enbridge Gas invoices and therefore will see no change on their customer bills due to the removal of the federal carbon charge on April 1, 2025. There will continue to be a small facility carbon charge included on customers’ bills. All customers that use Enbridge Gas transportation and/or distribution services will be charged the facility carbon charge. This charge is associated with the costs to operate Enbridge Gas’ facilities that deliver natural gas to customers. Current rates can be found in Rider J – Carbon Charges.
