Residential customers aren't the only victims of fraud—we've had reports of small- and medium-sized businesses being visited by salespeople who claim to represent FortisBC. The steps to protect yourself from door-to-door scams are the same for businesses and homeowners: always ask for identification and do not provide unknown solicitors with your personal information.

The heat wave last week led to record breaking temperatures across B.C. and a spike in electricity demand for our customers in the Southern Interior. On July 9, our electricity system experienced its highest energy load at 714 megawatts (MW)—close to our historic summer record of 764 MW on June 29, 2021. For comparison, that was 280 MW or 64 per cent higher than an average summer day. As the hot weather continues, be sure to check out our energy-saving tips to help conserve energy while keeping cool.

The Government of Canada has issued a positive decision statement for the Tilbury Marine Jetty (TMJ) project. This significant project milestone will enable trans-oceanic vessels to fuel with liquefied natural gas (LNG) at the Port of Vancouver. The TMJ will help create economic and employment benefits for the people of Delta, neighbouring communities and Indigenous communities and partners throughout the lifetime of the jetty. https://lnkd.in/g5iakmeX

All gas customers will be designated a one per cent blend of Renewable Natural Gas, known as RNG blend. There is no action required by customers. For the average customer, there will currently be no change to the cost of your monthly bill. The one per cent RNG blend will be incorporated in the storage and transport line item on your bill. You will also see a biomethane credit for the RNG portion of your gas. If you were already subscribed to RNG before July 1, we will continue to offer the voluntary RNG program so you can choose to designate up to 100 per cent of your gas use as RNG, inclusive of the one per cent blend. This adds to our ongoing efforts to reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions and help meet provincial climate action goals. Click the link to learn more about RNG blend. https://bit.ly/3VN3V50
