The Public Utilities Board (Board) approved the application of Centra Gas Manitoba Inc. (Centra) to increase the current Primary Gas rate from $0.0863/m3 to $0.0932/m3 effective August 1, 2020. Primary Gas is sold on a cost recovery basis without markup by Centra to Manitoba customers.
The new rate is projected to increase the bill for a typical residential customer by approximately 2.7% or $14/year. Primary Gas rates will be reviewed again November 1, 2020.
Primary Gas rates for customers that have signed fixed-term fixed-price contracts, with either Centra or a private broker, are not affected.
The Board is an impartial tribunal and regulator, at arm’s length from government, that acts in the public interest.
