The Public Utilities Board (Board) approved the application of Centra Gas Manitoba Inc. (Centra) to decrease the current Primary Gas rate from $0.1081/m3 to $0.1012/m3 effective February 1, 2021. Primary Gas is sold on a cost recovery basis without markup by Centra to Manitoba customers.
The new rate is projected to decrease the bill for a typical residential customer by approximately 2.1% or $14/year. Primary Gas rates will be reviewed again May 1, 2021.
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.
