Manitobans will be paying a little more for natural gas this winter.

The Public Utilities Board of Manitoba (PUB) approved increases to both the basic monthly and the delivery rate for natural gas.

It said the average residential customer will see a 6.3 per cent increase from their August rate. This means the average household will pay an additional $3 a month, or $38 a year.

The PUB said the increase is due to its expectation that natural gas purchase prices will rise over the next year. This means Manitoba Hydro will pay more for its natural gas supply.

Natural gas rates will be reviewed again in three months.
