The Public Utilities Board (Board) approved the application of Centra Gas Manitoba Inc. (Centra) to increase the current Primary Gas rate from $0.1323/m3 to $0.1916/m3 effective November 1, 2021. 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 17.1% or $124/year. Primary Gas rates will be reviewed again on February 1, 2022.
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.
