Load balancing is the management of natural gas storage and variations between summer and winter consumption. The price of this component is adjusted annually, in early October. Énergir bills load balancing at the same price we pay our suppliers for load-balancing tools.

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.
21
Distribution
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- Unit price by volume withdrawn: a variable component of the bill. It is applied to the volume withdrawn during the billing period.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.
