Natural gas sales totalled 8 038 million cubic metres in January, down 10.1% from January 2000. All three sectors (residential, commercial and industrial) recorded lower sales. Warmer-than-normal weather throughout Canada resulted in lower sales to the residential (-6.1%) and commercial (-6.7%) sectors. Sales to the industrial sector (including direct sales) fell 13.4% because of drop in demand for gas by the electric utilities, particularly in British Columbia.
