ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS OF UNION GAS LIMITED Union Gas Limited has applied for a multi-year rate setting mechanism. Learn more. Have your say. Union Gas Limited has applied to the Ontario Energy Board for a multi-year Incentive Regulation Mechanism that will be used to set Union's regulated distribution, transportation and storage of gas rates over the 2014 to 2018 period. Under the proposal residential Customers of Union Gas in the Southern service area would see an increase of approximately 0.3% in their average annual bill while customers in the North would see a 0.2% decline in their average annual bill during the 5 year period. Other customers, including businesses, may be affected as well. THE ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD WILL HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING The proposed incentive rate mechanism parameters have been established through a comprehensive Settlement Agreement (the "Agreement") between Union Gas Limited and the ratepayer groups that participated in Union's last rates hearing. The Agreement establishes the formula for setting Union's rates for a five year period starting January 1, 2014 based on an annual adjustment tied to inflation less a productivity factor. The Agreement will be presented to the Board at a public hearing. At this time, any other interested parties will be able to present any questions or concerns. At the end of this hearing, the OEB will decide whether to accept all or part of the Agreement. The OEB is an independent and impartial public agency.
