Predicted increases in natural gas prices present an opportunity for consumers to fix the price they pay

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 21, 2012 /CNW/ - In Canada the cold weather is on its way at the same time as natural gas prices are expected to increase. The National Energy Board predicts an adequate supply of natural gas however it has also indicated there will be rising energy costs for the average home owner.

The Board states, despite adequate supply, prices will increase compared to the rates from last winter when consumption levels were below average.  Utilities around Canada are planning to raise rates to meet the current needs of updating aging energy infrastructure, financing new energy generation, and compensating for inflation.

Increased consumer demand and industry pressure mean increased future natural gas prices are on the way.
