Some financial relief is coming to Manitobans on their gas bills for the next few months.
The Public Utilities Board approved a Centra Gas application to decrease the primary gas rate which would mean a 14.2 per cent drop in the bill for an average homeowner. This adds up to about $121 in savings a year.

Centra Gas doesn’t make money on selling gas to consumers, so the price decrease is reflective of lower industry prices.
Customers with fixed-term, fixed-price contracts with Centra Gas or a private broker will not be affected.
The rates will be reviewed again on May 1.
