Transportation
This is the service that sends the natural gas through pipelines from the production sites to Quebec , the territory served by Énergir. The transportation prices are modified when Énergir transportation suppliers modify their own prices. We bill this service at the same price as what we pay the transportation companies.

Load-balancing

Cap-and-Trade System
The emission allowance cost for the natural gas combustion, which varies each month. Cap-and-Trade System is an economic tool of the Québec government aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Fuels consumed in Québec are covered by the Cap-and-Trade System through energy distributors like Énergir. The sums collected will be invested by the government in, among other things, measures aimed at combating climate change.
Distribution
The price of the natural gas delivery service throughout the Énergir distribution network is adjusted annually. The rate is assigned based on your consumption and applicable to the general, stable or interruptible services. Énergir derives its earnings solely from this component of your bill.
The price of the general distribution service is the sum of two components:
- Basic fees: the fixed portion of the bill. They are determined by a rate that varies according to annual consumption and are billed by the meter based on the number of days in the billing period.
- Unit price by volume withdrawn: a variable component of the bill. It is applied to the volume withdrawn during the billing period. The unit price decreases as the volume increases.
