The price of natural gas is set to increase in Ontario starting July 1, the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) says.

The OEB said Thursday that has approved Enbridge Gas Inc.’s June 3 application to increase the rate due to shortages in North American natural gas supplies and “uncertainty in the global energy landscape.”
