Enbridge gas has begun a ruthless fight against the province’s independent energy regulator, the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) to protect Ontario homeowners from subsidizing gas hookups for new homes and opening the door for more heat pumps instead of gas furnaces. The OEB has stood up for Ontarians by ruling that connection costs should be the burden of developers, not residents.
Call your MPP to tell them that if the Government of Ontario supports Enbridge, it will be at the cost of gas users in order to subsidize gas hookups for new homes, and cost new home owners more by tilting the scales towards gas furnaces over heat pumps, which are more expensive to operate.
We’ll connect you to your MPP we think needs to be convinced to speak up to Premier Ford and Energy Minister Todd Smith. If your MPP is not on that list, we will connect you to Minister Smith’s office. You will likely speak to an administrator who may direct you to a voicemail box. When you click the MAKE THE CALL button, the system will call your phone and patch you through. PLEASE HAVE YOUR PHONE READY.
