Did you know Ontario's power market has fundamentally changed?

Electricity pricing is no longer anchored by stable nuclear baseload. With Nuclear refurbishments at Darlington and Bruce Power running through the early 2030s, Natural Gas continues to set marginal prices that tie electricity costs directly to gas market fluctuations. Average prices jumped 88% year-over-year, from $32.19/MWh to $60.43/MWh.

For businesses, this means:

🔹 Greater exposure to natural gas volatility
🔹 Amplified price swings during peak seasons
🔹 Difficult budget predictability

Rather than waiting for stability, many organizations are turning to proactive energy hedging strategies to create cost certainty and protect operating budgets. Curious how this impacts your organization? Connect with Active Business Services to explore strategic energy management options in Ontario: https://activebusinessservices.com/.

[Energy Update] Early forecasts are predicting a 'Polar Express' winter for 2025-2026, bringing cold outbreaks and heavy snow to Canada, the US Midwest, and the Northeast. ❄️

When an Arctic blast hits, the combination of pipeline capacity constraints and surging demand can cause immediate price shocks that devastate unprotected budgets. The impact is real and can happen quickly. Here's what this could mean for natural gas prices:

✓ Extreme volatility similar to 2014, when prices spiked by 775%
✓ Pipeline congestion at the Dawn Hub as extreme cold leads to rationing of available pipeline capacity
✓ Rising LNG exports through 2026 will add upward pressure on price, as the system balances domestic heating demand with high export volumes

Don't let winter volatility derail your budget. Contact Active Business Services to secure a fixed pricing solution that guarantees budget certainty and mitigates the risk of costly market spikes.
