RE:News Release Issued: Jun 9, 2021 (8:16pm EDT)"The Ontario government says it is expanding access to natural gas across the province to help keep the cost of energy low for families, businesses and farmers. Phase 2 of the Natural Gas Expansion Program is allocating more than $234 million to support approximately 8,750 connections in 43 rural, northern and Indigenous communities.
Construction for projects under Phase 2 will begin as soon as this year, with all 28 expansion projects expected to be underway by the end of 2025.
Phase 1 and 2 projects are funded through a $1-per-month charge to existing natural gas customers."
