Natural gas sales

January 2002 (preliminary)

Natural gas sales totalled 8 151 million cubic metres in January, down 0.3% from January 2001. Warmer-than-normal weather throughout most of Canada resulted in lower sales to the residential (-8.5%) and commercial (-7.2%) sectors. The gain in sales to the industrial sector (including direct sales) was due to higher demand for natural gas by electric utilities.
