Comment
Enbridge appreciates the opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed amendments to the OEB Act, emphasizing the importance of natural gas for economic growth and home heating. While the proposed legislation is a step in the right direction by addressing certain concerns such as supporting lowering upfront costs for gas connections, supporting priority gas lines, and improving regulatory efficiency, Enbridge highlights the remaining barriers related to the OEB’s rebasing decision that impede capital deployment for Ontario’s growth, which could be addressed through clarifications of the proposed legislation and a Natural Gas Policy Statement that espouses the ongoing important role of natural gas and gas infrastructure as part of Ontario’s diverse energy mix.
