Piped Propane System
Terasen Gas operates a piped propane distribution system that serves residential and commercial customers in the Revelstoke area.
Propane is transported to Revelstoke by railcar and tanker-truck and off-loaded at an above-ground storage site. The propane is vapourized at this location and then distributed through underground gas lines to residences and commercial buildings.
Composition of Piped Propane Rate
Your rate is comprised of two charges:
- a commodity charge, and
- a basic monthly charge.
The commodity charge is considered a variable rate, which is designed to recover the variable cost of providing propane gas service. The commodity charge reflects the volatile nature of propane pricing from the supplier, plus the variable cost of delivering propane to the customer.
The basic monthly charge is designed to recover the fixed costs Terasen Gas incurs to provide service and ensures you have access to propane when you need it — 24 hours a day. This charge includes costs that Terasen Gas incurs regardless of how much propane is consumed, such as service lines, meter sets and meters, meter reading, billing and customer accounting costs.
