Warmer than normal temperatures in the western provinces led to a decline in natural gas sales in the residential sector in March.
However, the 1.4% decline in the residential sales, coupled with a reduction of 1.6% in commercial sales, was more than offset by the 15.0% gain in the volume of industrial and direct sales.
Natural gas sales totalled 7 770 million cubic metres, up 6.1% from March 2006.
On a year-to-date basis, sales at the end of March were up 10.0% from the same three-month period last year in the wake of across-the-board increases in all sectors.
The volume of sales to the industrial sector (including direct sales) has risen 12.8% so far this year, while sales were up 7.4% in the residential sector and 8.1% in the commercial sector.
