continue to use what you need
There's no expectation on households or residential consumers to ration their gas use. Please continue to use what you need at home.

Gas has played a major role in our lives and homes. But a shift is on the horizon.
With declining gas production resulting in reduced supply, we've seen big shifts in wholesale gas prices over the last few years.
As a retailer of gas (we don’t produce it), we’re exposed to the wholesale market. This means changes in the wholesale price, flow through to the prices we charge.
Looking ahead, it’s likely we’ll see gas pricing continue to climb if supply challenges continue. So we think it’s important that you start to think about how your energy future is shaping up. Let’s break it down.
