Natural Gas Pipeline rates recover the cost of transporting natural gas. Pursuant the Gas Utilities Act, gas utility pipeline’s rates, tolls and other charges, and terms and conditions of service are subject to approval by the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC).
Pipeline rates are reviewed and set in General Rate Applications (GRAs) to the AUC. However, the utility may apply to alter individual pipeline rates between GRAs, as required due to circumstances that may arise.
Pipeline transmission costs are recovered directly from producers, industrial customers and distribution utilities. Distribution utility then pass these costs on directly to their customers.
