The Access Advantage
The Access Natural Gas Price Protection Plan allows you to purchase natural gas at a guaranteed fixed rate for up to a 5 year term. As a weather driven commodity, natural gas is one of the most volatile and unpredictable commodities on earth. Regardless of how high energy costs go, you have peace of mind knowing that your guaranteed fixed price will remain the same for the full term of your Agreement.
Similar programs have been implemented in many provinces and states across North America and have proven to be very successful. British Columbia’s commercial customers have been participating in this program since 2004.
FortisBC will continue to bill you as they always have. You will receive your contracted Access rate, and Access will be identified on the bill as your commodity provider. You will also continue to make your payments to FortisBC and will still be able to take advantage of their various payment options
Who is eligible to take part in the CUSTOMER CHOICE program?
Residential and small commercial customers using natural gas on the FortisBC distribution system in British Columbia.
