Why You Should Learn About Options Other Than Terasen Gas.
Terasen gas has been operating in BC for many years; they do not mark up their prices on Natural gas. Terasen charges their rates according to the supply and demand of the market. When supply goes up the cost goes down and when the demand is high then the cost goes up.
Some types of examples that would affect the price of Natural Gas in British Columbia could be weather conditions or fluctuations in delivery costs. If you read Terasen Gas’s statements they make their money on delivery and set up fees.
Why Does Terasen Gas Change Rates?
What Terasen doesn’t want you to know is that they can change the gas prices up to 4 times per year, leaving you with mandatory charges according to their rates. For example if bad weather were to hit the production sites of where the natural gas suppliers are, the prices for natural gas would be affected and are likely to rise for the province of BC.
Terasen gas is controlled by the British Columbia Utilities Commission, but Terasen is still able to adjust their gas prices according to fluctuations in the market.
Why Is Natural Gas Deregulated In BC?
Deregulation of the Canadian natural gas industry started with the removal of government regulated natural gas overhead that started almost a decade ago. Beginning with the elimination of the regulated well-head price for natural gas, this change led to increased competition for Terasen Gas and all areas of business in the Natural Gas industry, creating opportunities for natural gas marketers to re-sell natural gas to anyone who wants it.
In these times of volatile natural gas prices, the Canadian consumer has more options than ever when choosing from whom to purchase their natural gas.
