Heating Oil and Propane Rebate Act and Regulation

The Heating Oil and Propane Rebate Act replaces the Natural Gas Rebates Act. The legislation authorises the Minister to provide a rebate of the price of oil or propane that is purchased for residential, industrial, or commercial heating purposes on a calendar year basis. Rebates are not automatic; applications must be submitted to and approved by the Minister. The amount of rebate may be reduced by the amount of benefit received under the Fuel Tax Act.
.
Heating oil and propane rebates may be subject to terms and conditions. For example, unless there are special circumstances warranting Ministerial override, there is a general prohibition upon using rebated heating oil and propane in a franchise area that has been approved under the Gas Distribution Act.
