EPCOR Ontario Utilities Inc. is investing $20.3 million to extend natural gas delivery systems to Brockton.
It’s part of a larger investment to serve Neustadt, Brunner, Elmwood, Vesta, Solway, Cargill, Pinkerton, Bradley, Glammis, Chepstow, Greenock and Riversdale, plus areas in between.
“We are extremely pleased that the Province of Ontario has approved this important project for Brockton, and we thank our local MPPs Lisa Thompson and Bill Walker for their hard work and commitment to seeing this through,” said Brockton Mayor Chris Peabody.
“This will enable our agribusinesses, developers and smaller businesses in our rural hamlets and villages to remain competitive, and will offer rural residents equal access to this clean and affordable source of energy. We have an excellent partnership with EPCOR that we look forward to continuing.”
In Grey County, 219 homes and businesses in Neustadt will be able to connect to natural gas for the first time. Ontario is allocating $5,128,997 to support the new connections.
And in Perth East, Ontario’s Natural Gas Expansion Program will soon extend service to Brunner. with approximately 44 homes and businesses in the area to have the option. Ontario is allocating $814,850 to that project.
All of the money is part of Phase 2 of Ontario’s Natural Gas Expansion Program.
