Natural gas is essential for powering Ontario’s homes, hospitals, farms, and businesses, providing a reliable, safe, affordable, and clean energy system. Enbridge’s network serves 3.9 million customers, delivering heat to 75 percent of the province’s residents with a focus on safety and reliability. It is a key part of Ontario's energy mix, supporting system stability during peak demand, boosting grid resilience, and working alongside renewables to enable electrification of key sectors.

With electricity demand expected to rise 75 percent by 2050, a balanced and secure energy system is vital. Natural gas continues to be a cornerstone, complementing renewable energy while also serving as a bridge to the future through lower-carbon options like renewable natural gas and hydrogen.

A united approach that includes natural gas is crucial to achieving Ontario’s goals of a reliable, safe, and affordable energy system now and in the future.
