In a discussion paper submitted by Enbridge Consumers Gas to the Ontario Energy Board, one the key proposals suggested that new unbundled rates take effect in fiscal 2001, and that existing customers of Enbridge Consumers Gas have the opportunity to choose either a fully bundled or certain unbundled services.
More options provide more opportunities to maximize the value of energy services.
Unbundling many services may provide some economic benefits, but some customers may choose to forego them in exchange for other advantages associated with bundled services. By choosing the unbundled option, customers must make a decision regarding the delivery of various services normally associated with bundled gas supply. Or, to put it another way, bundled service is like an automatic transmission in a car. Put the car in drive, and leave everything else to take place automatically with very little decision-making by you.
