Enbridge Gas has applied for a rate increase that could drive up the average customer’s bill by as much as $94 a year — and the company is blaming the looming carbon tax.
The increase marks about an 11-per-cent jump. That’s based on what the company said in September was a typical residential customer’s annual bill: $873.
The natural gas distributor filed its application for an increase in January, saying higher costs associated with the federal government’s Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act (more commonly known as the carbon tax) would add increased costs that the company will need to recoup from customers.
