Learn more. Have your say.
Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. and Union Gas Limited have applied to the
Ontario Energy Board to amalgamate to form a single natural gas distribution,
transportation and storage company effective January 1, 2019. The amalgamated
utility would serve over 3.5 million natural gas customers in Ontario.
Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. and Union Gas Limited say that their customers
will not pay any costs related to the amalgamation and that if the Ontario Energy
Board approves the amalgamation, customers will receive a total benefit of
$410 million over a ten-year period.
The rates that Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. and Union Gas Limited currently
charge customers are set using two separate frameworks that expire at the end

Gas Distribution Inc. and Union Gas Limited have asked the Ontario Energy
Board to defer its full review of their costs for 10 years and have proposed a
methodology for setting rates from 2019 to the end of 2028 using a formula.
The Ontario Energy Board will review this rate proposal in a separate proceeding.

ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD NOTICE
TO CUSTOMERS OF ENBRIDGE GAS DISTRIBUTION INC. AND
UNION GAS LIMITED
Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. and Union Gas Limited
have applied for approval of a new framework that would set rates for the
delivery of natural gas from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2028
Learn more. Have your say.
Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. and Union Gas Limited have jointly asked the Ontario
Energy Board to approve a new framework that, if approved, would be used to set
rates for the delivery of natural gas to customers in every year from 2019 to the end
of 2028.
The rates that Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. and Union Gas Limited currently charge
customers for the delivery of natural gas are set using two separate five-year
frameworks that will expire at the end of 2018. The Ontario Energy Board would
normally review the costs of each of the gas utilities to set new rates starting in 2019.
However, in a separate application, Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. and Union Gas
Limited have asked the Ontario Energy Board for approval to amalgamate the two
utilities to form a single natural gas distribution, transmission and storage company
effective January 1, 2019. As part of that application, which the Ontario Energy Board
is reviewing in a separate hearing (EB-2017-0306), the utilities have asked to defer the
full review of their costs for 10 years.
In the current application, the gas utilities have proposed a rate setting framework
that would:
escalate rates annually based on an index driven by inflation without
reductions to account for productivity or for a stretch factor
allow the continued recovery of certain routine, pass through costs such as
gas commodity, upstream transportation and cap and trade costs
allow the recovery of certain non-routine costs provided they are outside of the
applicants’ control and exceed a threshold of $1 million
Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. and Union Gas Limited have also asked for other
approvals related to qualifying for incremental capital, adjustments to currently
approved revenues and for the continuation of some, and the discontinuation of
other deferral and variance accounts.
THE ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD IS HOLDING A PUBLIC HEARING
The OEB will hold a public hearing to consider the rate framework application filed by Enbridge Gas
and Union Gas. We will question both companies on the case. We will also hear arguments from
individuals and from groups that represent the customers of both Enbridge Gas and Union Gas. At
the end of this hearing, the OEB will decide whether to approve the application.

Mr. Mayor and Councillors
My wife and I have attended both of the previous Planning Department
meetings and listened to the many residents who have spoken out against
the current proposal by Tornat for the development of the property north of
King St. between Rudell Road and Pedwell St. in Newcastle. I commend
and support all of the comments which have been put forth at these
previous meetings.
We have been residents of the adjacent development for over 3 years living
on Pedwell St. We are retired and chose to live in Newcastle for its
character and small size but close proximity to the greater Toronto region.
During our purchase discussions with the builder’s representative, we
clearly remember being told that the subject property was to be developed
with townhouses. This fact was illustrated during the Planning Department
meeting on December 4, 2017 by a long time resident of the area who
presented documents supporting the long term original intentions for the
property. As with many other residents it is now very discouraging that this
expectation is being threatened by the current proposal.
In addition to this concern we question other aspects of the proposal.
The development to the north of the subject property has currently only 2
entrances/exits namely Rudell Rd. and Pedwell St. Both of these streets
are currently heavily travelled at almost any time of the day. Drivers on
these main access roads already exceed the speed limits posing severe
safety issues for the residents and their families. The extension of Grady
Drive to the east may help to alleviate some of the traffic but the Rudell
Road and Pedwell St. entrances will still remain the primary points of
entrance to the existing subdivision. The fact that there will be no entrance
to the proposed development allowed from King St. will put even more
stress on these two intersections. Since the commercial portion of the
development is at the Pedwell St. intersection it would become a major
source of traffic congestion should the proposed development proceed.
The proposal that an entrance to the development from Macdonald
Crescent is a weak attempt to overcome the issue of traffic congestion and
does not respect the residents of Macdonald Crescent who purchased their
properties expecting to live on a quiet residential “crescent”.
We question the advisability of adding more commercial property to the
Village of Newcastle. There are at least 19 commercial locations in the
village currently unoccupied. This development would add additional
commercial space which seems completely redundant.
We question the need for additional condominium units since there are
many units still unsold in the development south of Tim Hortons and many
units remain unsold in the development south of the Foodland store. In
addition to these two locations there are a large number of units under
construction at the Port of Newcastle. It seems that townhouse units are a
more appropriate addition to the housing inventory which would offer
buyers larger living spaces for young growing families while still offering the
close proximity to the amenities of the village.
The proposed development does not complement the architectural
character of Newcastle. We believe that previous developments in the
downtown core had to be such that they blended with the historic look of
the village and it is important to keep this characteristic in any new
proposed development. This proposed development in no way reflects the
villages’ characteristics. If the proposal does not reflect the characteristics
of the community it should not be permitted to proceed as proposed.
In closing, we encourage you to continue to turn down this proposed
development in its current form and encourage the developer to revert to a
development which meets the original expectations of the residents of the
existing surrounding homes. You have received a petition signed by over
375 residents of Newcastle - these residents should not be ignored.

ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD NOTICE
TO CUSTOMERS OF ENBRIDGE GAS DISTRIBUTION INC.
UNION GAS LIMITED AND EPCOR NATURAL GAS LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP
Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc., Union Gas Limited and EPCOR Natural
Gas Limited Partnership have each applied for approval to recover the
costs associated with their 2018 cap and trade compliance plans.
Learn more. Have your say.
Under the Government of Ontario’s greenhouse gas emissions regulation each of
Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc., Union Gas Limited and EPCOR Natural Gas Limited
Partnership are required to develop plans to meet their cap and trade compliance
obligations. Each of the natural gas utilities have applied for approval to recover the
costs associated with their 2018 cap and trade compliance plans. If approved, the
costs of the proposed plans would raise natural gas rates by $0.40 to $0.50 on
average per month starting January 1, 2018 for residential customers. The exact
amount of the increase will depend on the amount of gas you use and on your gas
utility. Other customers, including businesses, may also be affected.
The Ontario Energy Board will assess the cost-effectiveness of each of the cap and
trade compliance plans filed by the natural gas utilities to determine whether the
gas utilities can recover those costs in the rates they charge customers.
Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. and Union Gas Limited have also asked for approval
of a jointly developed procurement and funding model to introduce renewable
natural gas into the Ontario market.
THE ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD WILL HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING
The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) will hold a combined public hearing to consider the requests made by
each of Enbridge Gas, Union Gas and EPCOR Natural Gas. We will question each of the gas utilities on
their cap and trade compliance plans and on each of their cases for a rate change to implement those plans.
We will review the proposals of Enbridge Gas and Union Gas in relation to the renewable natural gas
procurement and funding model. We will also hear questions and arguments from individual customers and
from groups that represent customers of Enbridge Gas, Union Gas and EPCOR Natural Gas. The OEB will
assess whether the compliance plans are cost-effective to determine whether the recovery of the cap and
trade costs from customers is reasonable, and will determine whether to approve the renewable natural gas
procurement and funding model.
The OEB is an independent and impartial public agency. We make decisions that serve the public interest.
Our goal is to promote a financially viable and efficient energy sector that provides you with reliable energy
services at a reasonable cost.
BE INFORMED AND HAVE YOUR SAY
You have the right to information regarding this application and to be involved in the process.
You can review each of the Enbridge Gas, Union Gas and EPCOR Natural Gas applications on the

You can become an active participant (called an intervenor). Apply by December 22, 2017 or the
hearing will go ahead without you and you will not receive any further notice of the proceeding.
At the end of the process, you can review the OEB’s decision and its reasons on our website.
