Residential Natural Gas Rates for April 1, 2011

The finance and corporate services committee of city council approved Kitchener Utilities' proposed natural gas rates on Monday, March 21, 2011.

The rate changes include:

• Supply rate decrease to 21.2 cents per cubic metre
• Variable Delivery rate tier change and decreases as follows:
  • 4.7419 cents per cubic metre for the first 100 cubic metres of monthly use;
  • 4.5354 cents per cubic metre for the next 150 cubic metres;
  • 4.0469 cents per cubic metre for monthly use over 250 cubic metres
• Daily Fixed Charge rate increase to 66 cents per day

The combined impacts of the supply, transportation and delivery rates are expected to produce an overall rate decrease of 7 percent, $75 per year – for the average residential customer.*
*Calculated based on annual use of 2,100 cubic metres of natural gas

Kitchener Utilities takes a disciplined approach to buying natural gas. Our goal is to provide natural gas supply with stable pricing our customers have told us they prefer. We do not make a profit on our natural gas supply program. It is operated at cost. Customers on our supply program pay what we pay to our suppliers – without any
mark-up or discount – and all our customers pay the same price.

Kitchener Utilities is committed to providing the best value possible for our customers.
