Fortis promises no hike in gas prices for the rest of 2025 By Fortis BC September 16th, 2025FortisBC Energy Inc. (FortisBC) has received approval from the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) to maintain the cost of gas rates for its customers at $2.230 per gigajoule (GJ) as of October 1. FortisBC acquires gas at market-based prices, and factors like supply and demand, weather and economic conditions affect the price of gas in North America. The BCUC reviews FortisBC’s cost of gas rates every three months and will review them next in December. To help keep rates affordable for its customers, FortisBC purchases gas in the summer when prices are lower and stores it so that lower-cost gas is available to customers in winter months when prices are higher.
