Regulatory
Unlock the Potential of Our Energy Regulatory Expertise
IGUA is the sole representative of large industrial gas user interests among a sea of other intervenors at the Régie de l’énergie, Ontario Energy Board, and the Canadian Energy Regulator. Using quasi-judicial procedures, economic regulators base their decisions solely on the evidence submitted by intervening parties. Without IGUA, large gas users would have no voice in regulatory proceedings, and decisions will be made lacking the industrial viewpoint.
IGUA has top-notch regulatory teams in Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta, who prevent unchecked toll increases and keep natural gas rates as competitive as possible for industry.

Testimonials
“The added costs associated with delivering at Parkway had been a long-standing issue for Sarnia based industrials. IGUA took this issue to the OEB and successfully negotiated the “Parkway Delivery Credit”, a fair solution which has saved large industrials significant dollars in transportation costs for several years.”
- Dereck Francis, Energy Procurement, Suncor Energy
“IGUA’s diligent and knowledgeable involvement in the Mainline settlement process brought the end-users’ perspective to the table and was central in gathering all shippers around a united voice, which resulted in a well-balanced agreement. The annual cost benefits from the settlement out way twenty times our IGUA membership dues.”
- Yves Seguin, Corporate Director Energy at Domtar
“IGUA was instrumental in getting the Régie de l’énergie to correct the iniquity in cost allocation between the North and South zones.” The annual saving represents more than ten times my IGUA membership”.
