Fixed Rate Natural Gas Service for
Ontario Businesses
Lock in your gas supply rate and stop worrying about winter bill spikes
Ontario businesses use natural gas for many essential operations, from heating and processing to day-to-day facility requirements. While natural gas is delivered by the local utility, the supply rate itself can be secured through a fixed-rate contract. Ontario Wholesale Energy provides small and medium-sized businesses with the option to lock in a consistent per-cubic-metre natural gas supply rate for a defined term, rather than remaining on a variable utility supply rate.
Through individually structured contracts, OWE helps businesses establish stability in their supply rate while maintaining the same delivery, billing, and infrastructure provided by the utility. This approach allows organizations to select a contract term that aligns with their operational needs, supported by clear documentation and a straightforward transition process.
Why Natural Gas Bills Can Vary Month to Month
Natural gas bills often change throughout the year because both consumption levels and certain bill components fluctuate. Many Ontario businesses remain on the utility’s default supply rate, which can be adjusted periodically. When this occurs during higher-usage periods, such as colder months, the change becomes more noticeable on the invoice.
Several factors contribute to month-to-month variability:
- Seasonal usage patterns: Heating systems, makeup-air units, and hot-water equipment typically consume more natural gas during the winter months.
- Utility supply rate adjustments: The utility’s default supply rate may change from time to time, which can affect the supply portion of the bill.
- Multiple bill components: Delivery, transportation, storage, and regulatory charges can differ slightly from one billing period to the next.
