Natural gas prices are on the rise in Muskoka. The Ontario Energy Board says that’s because of the quarterly adjustment for the market price, which will impact Enbridge, Union Gas, and NRG customers. On top of that, the introduction of cap-and-trade will impact bills.
However, the OEB claims prices will remain lower in 2017 than they were during peak periods in 2009 and 2014, when natural gas prices were higher because of high market prices and unusually cold weather.
Bills will start going up on January 1st.
