EPCOR Natural Gas Limited Partnership has now received the leave to construct approval from the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) needed to begin construction on a natural gas distribution system for the Southern Bruce region.
This project will provide the area’s residents, farms and businesses with access to natural gas for the first time.
Between now and 2021, work will take place to construct the distribution system and connect customers. It’s expected that the Bruce Industrial Park will be connected in 2019, followed by the communities of Kincardine, Tiverton, and Inverhuron in 2020, and the communities of Paisley, Chelsey, Lucknow, Ripley, Point Clark and Lurgan Beach in 2021.
As the project progresses, local stakeholders will be notified of construction activities in their areas, and potential customers will be provided with information on how to get ready for natural gas service.
