Observer
For more than a century, natural gas companies have been meeting the energy needs of Canadians across the country. Today, through nearly 600,000 kilometers of transmission and distribution pipeline and natural gas storage facilities, affordable natural gas is delivered to over two-thirds of Canadians. Canadians use natural gas primarily to heat our homes, schools, hospitals and businesses; but we also use it to generate electricity, fuel vehicles, and power appliances.
Natural gas plays an important part in Canada’s energy mix meeting nearly 40 per cent of Canada’s energy needs. Over the last decade Canada’s natural gas utilities added over one million new customers – including homes, businesses and industries – to the gas system. The growing demand for natural gas underscores the point that more Canadians want to have access to reliable and affordable energy. Looking forward, the Canadian Energy Regulator forecasts natural gas will become the largest energy source in Canada by 2035.
The industry understands that the energy landscape is evolving and we know that natural gas will remain a vital and growing part of that landscape. From renewable gases to natural gas transportation to energy efficiency to a host of other opportunities, we are committed to a future that leverages our infrastructure and drives innovation. Our product and infrastructure have played a central role in helping Canadians achieve our quality of life, not only because it offers a reliable energy source to Canadians when they need it most, but also because it has delivered affordable energy. That has meant significant savings for consumers, and it has meant growth for our economy as investors have been attracted to our markets’ low energy input costs. We take pride in our past, and are committed to a future of continued growth for Canada, using our products and our infrastructure to help deliver our country’s social, environmental and economic well-being.
