Natural gas bills to be reduced slightly in 2024, says FortisBC
NANAIMO — FortisBC customers could see a decrease in their natural gas bills in the new year, to the tune of about $1 a month.
FortisBC rates are regulated by the BC Utilities Commission (BCUC), with reviews on delivery and storage rates done every year, while the gas rate is reviewed each quarter.
Diana Sorace with FortisBC said the amount of savings will depend on user consumption rates.
“On January 1, customers are going to be seeing a bit of relief on their gas bills, at approximately $11 or 1 per cent annually, and that’s based on about 90 gigajoules (GJ) of consumption, which is the annual GJ amount for costumers.”
