Cooler than normal temperatures in all Western provinces led to an increase in natural gas sales in the residential sector in September.
Higher sales volume in the residential sector (+3.0%), combined with a higher volume (+1.4%) of industrial sales (including direct sales), more than offset the 6.7% decline registered in the commercial sector.
Natural gas sales totalled 4 209 million cubic metres, up 0.7% from September 2006.
On a year-to-date basis, sales at the end of September were up 3.7% from the same nine-month period last year in the wake of across-the-board increases in all sectors.
Volume of sales to the industrial sector (including direct sales) has risen only 0.4% so far in 2007, while sales were up 9.5% in the residential sector and 7.9% in the commercial sector.
